Depends on where you have them but you will get the idea.
We had little things in out kitchen slide. I pulled out all drawers, pulled out the stove, pulled off the panel under the refridge., cleaned out the pantry. I then sprayed "home defense", by Ortho, all around the edges and corners of the exposed surfaces. Then I sprayed around the outside of the slide. Within a day, no more ants.
Prior to that I tried ant traps/poison and Raid bug killer for weeks. That did not work.
"Home Defense" can be found in Walmart, Lowes, and other like stores. It kills bugs for up to 6 months. Once dry it is safe indoors or out. I've used it for years to keep carpenter ants out of my house. The best stuff I have found.

Also spray around any surface that contacts the ground. Spray the front landing gear legs, tires and rear stabilizers
Don't forget the water hose, electrical cord and sewer hose. These items should then be rinsed off before storing away.
This is a monthly ritual while wintering in Florida and most long term camping. Never hurt to do it on weekends too!
