Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / April 2006Birds in 5th wheel pinbox
Encountered a problem I hadn't considered. Getting 28frls 5th wheel ready for trip to Vicksburg. Birds had built nests in back of pinbox. perfect location. removed nests before they could lay eggs otherwise would have had to wait them out. Next year Ill put a piece of hardware cloth over opening in back of pin box in fall. You may want to check yours before they have a chance to build there.

Bill and Debbie When we got our fiver home, we found a nest complete with small birds! Same location.

Maybe if they could check spelling in context? (Did you notice that I also misspelled birds?)

Bill and Debbie Birds are OK, but I have seen bees in there also... JoeGee That's actually quiet common. Birds are very opportunistic, and the bin box is a pretty good place for them to hang out.

Bill and Debbie We have had that happen at home and often put a strip of duct tape over the opening in the spring (have one there now). Two years ago after only a two night stop in Twin Falls, ID we had to clean out nesting material. Those birds found the pin box fast and went right to work! Ron So, that explains why I found quite a bit of weed material in the pin box after our trip from Redmond, OR to Corvallis! Just got back yesterday. I went to stuff the pig tail into the pin box and found the weeds. Wondered how they could have ever gotten there. Now I remember the starlings were pretty thick around the KOA and acted like they were trying to nest in some of the trees. When I get home tonight, I will check for nest material from our starlings and then put some screen over the openings, if I can. Paul in Redmond, OR > > Encountered a problem I hadn't considered.
