HELPFUL INFORMATION

Product Details

Description & Fitment

RV Rodent Guard creates a removable physical barrier at exposed slide-out mechanism openings, helping keep mice and other rodents from getting inside your RV. It’s an RV mouse guard designed specifically for one of the most overlooked entry points on a slide-out.

Designed for hydraulic and electric slide-out mechanisms, the guard protects the frame opening where the mechanism extends and retracts the slide—not the square slide support arms.

Designed to Fit Common Slide-Out Mechanisms

  • Fits hydraulic slide-out pushrods up to 3/4" diameter
  • Remove the perforated center section to fit electric slide-out mechanisms up to 2"
  • Secure magnetic fit, yet easy to remove
  • Durable ABS construction with stainless steel hardware and strong neodymium magnets
  • Only one guard is needed per slide-out

Hydraulic Slide-Outs

Many hydraulic slide-out installations have enough clearance for the guard to remain in place when the slide is retracted. Always check the clearance on your specific RV before leaving the guard installed during slide operation.

Electric Slide-Outs

For electric slide-out installations, remove the guard before retracting the slide. Installation and removal take only moments, making it easy to add to your normal campsite setup and departure routine.

Not Sure About Your Setup?

If you’re unsure which frame opening needs protection or whether RV Rodent Guard will fit your slide-out mechanism, send us a photo of your setup and we’ll help you identify the correct location.

Installation

Hydraulic slide-outs: Test clearance on your RV before leaving the guard installed during slide operation.

Electric slide-outs: Remove the guard before retracting the slide.

Test-fit before trimming. Remove only the material needed for clearance around nearby brackets, fasteners, or hardware.

  • Step 1 - Unlock RV Rodent Guard

    Position

    RV Rodent Guard is sized to fit hydraulic slide-out pushrods up to 3/4" diameter. For electric slide-out mechanisms up to 2", remove the perforated center section. Unlock the guard, position it around the slide-out mechanism at the RV frame opening, then close and lock it securely in place.

  • Step 2 - Installing Rv Rodent Guard on Push Rod

    Trim if Needed

    Slide the RV Rodent Guard toward the RV frame opening, checking for clearance around nearby components such as brackets, fasteners, or other slide-out hardware. If needed, use the perforated trim areas or carefully notch the guard with tin snips. Tip: Test-fit before trimming. Remove small amounts of material and recheck fit.

  • Step 3 - RV Rodent Guard Installed

    Secure

    Once clearance is confirmed, slide the RV Rodent Guard fully against the RV frame. The integrated neodymium magnets create a secure yet removable fit, helping block the slide-out mechanism opening where rodents can enter.

When installing I didn’t realize right away that I needed to relocate one of the magnets to allow me to get the plate in place and clear slide hardware, once I did it it fit perfectly around hydraulic slide piston

Thank you for the great review and for sharing a photo of your installation! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with other RV owners. Safe travels!

works perfectly on my Grand Design Solitude DV370

Glad to hear it!

There should be an option to have the bottom corners broken off as well with the screw holes up higher. The reasoning is because my hydraulic opening has a support bracket welded on and it is right where the one bottom screw is. I had to reverse the screws the opposite side and leave one out and cut the corner off diagonally in order for it to block properly. If you google “RV HYDRAULIC SLIDE PICTURES” you can see Some images where that bracket ends up near the hole.

I am very impressed with the way that this mouse guard was engineered. Once I started the installation it went fast. The only problem that I had was that the ram that operates the slide is so close to the gear frame that I had to notch the mouse guard a little.

Very easy to install, i had to trim a small area to make it fit. Snapped right on with no issues.

I noticed a lot of pressure against guard when my electric slides are all the way in, found I could not adjust for pressure against guard due to the cup on rod is the stopping adjustment on how far slides go in.

We needed a bit different adapter for our Brinkley Z 2900. I reached out and sent a picture of our opening, they sent us a perfect fit for it. Thank you, very easy to communicate with and get results!

Works as designed. Easy to install fast shipping. After installing I noticed other holes in frame were slide out brackets were weld to frame for mice to get into and plug with copper mesh Glad I had time time to take good look underneath the rv

when received the guards i was going to wait until we got back from a trip.
had a rat that was chewing up wires it happened to jump out when sitting by slide out I immediately installed them the later he was running up and down the frame trying to find the hole. I highly recommend this product will never have another camper without them!

I sent an email with a few questions so we can gain a better understanding of the issue and, if necessary, begin the return process.

Great, took a lot of trimming to fit beside the slide mechanism. Ended up with part of the narrow edge gone.

Just received 2 Rodent Guards for our 5th wheel slide outs. Delivered in a very reasonable time line. Had to snap out the perforated section for the larger hole size which was a breeze and had both guards installed in under 5 minutes. Fit like a glove and hopefully we have sealed the final access route that was provided by the RV manufacturer for a rodent to complete a swan dive off the top of the tires directly into the undercarriage. Thank you for creating an easy fix.

Very satisfied with this product. My installation required removing the perforated portion of the plastic for the 2” hole. I actually used tin snips and cut up to the perforation about a half inch apart. Then used pliers to break each cut piece off. Was concerned that if I tried removing it in one piece, I might break or crack it. The only thing I wish was different is that the magnets were just a bit stronger. But all in all I’m very pleased at how tight it fits around the tube and how easy the installation went. 10 out of 10. Thank you RVRodentguard for a great product. I will highly recommend this product to any RV owner. I think my campground neighbors will be ordering a couple.

Great product. Shipped quick. Easy to install. Super strong magnets. Does a much better job covering the holes than stuffing them with copper wool. Ill buy more

These worked perfect on my 2019 Forest River 401 FLX hydraulic slide rods. I purchased 6 of them and they not only worked on the rods but they sealed off the holes where my slide out electrical wires came through the frame.
