We used an old trick when we winterized our motel for the winter. Apparently moths are not the only thing that don't like the smell of mothballs. Get a box or two of mothballs, place a couple dozen balls in bowls and place the bowls around the inside of the trailer.
At the inside corners of slides
At each end on top of the slides, maybe even one in the middle of the bigger livingroom slide
Under the vanity and kitchen sinks
In by the water heater
A couple bowls on the bedroom floor and a couple on the living room/kitchen floor
A couple bowls inside both basement doors and the front compartment.
And anywhere else you think the critters could gain access.

In the spring open the unit up and let it air out for a few days.
Save the mothballs in an air tight bag to use again next winter.

We had a waterfront motel and fishing camp in northern New York and this trick always worked.

We placed fabric softner sheets all over the place -- so far this seems to have worked for us.
