Spare Tire & Emergency Retract Barrier

Rodents can enter an RV through small, overlooked openings—especially around the spare tire and emergency slide‑retract mechanisms. The RV Rodent Guard – Spare Tire & Emergency Retract Barrier is a purpose‑built mechanical barrier designed to block these vulnerable access points before pests find their way inside your RV.

Unlike sprays, foams, or temporary deterrents, this guard creates a durable physical shield over exposed frame gaps surrounding the spare tire carrier and emergency retract linkage. By securing these often‑ignored openings, it helps prevent rodent intrusion, wiring damage, nesting odors, and costly repairs—providing long‑lasting protection you can rely on every trip.

Not sure where rodents may be getting in? Use our RV Rodent Entry Point Inspection Checklist to inspect common entry points around your RV.

Test-fit the barrier before trimming. If nearby brackets, locks, fasteners, or hardware interfere, remove small amounts of material at a time and recheck the fit.

The magnetic mounting allows quick installation and removal without drilling.

For shipments to Canada:

Duties apply when the shipment value is $150 CAD or more. Import taxes (GST/HST) apply when the shipment value is $40 CAD or more.

This means shipments under $40 CAD are exempt from both duties and taxes, shipments from $40–$149 CAD are subject to taxes only, and shipments of $150 CAD and above are subject to both duties and taxes. Please note that duties and taxes are not included in your order total and will be collected by the carrier at delivery.

We recommend using USPS for shipments to Canada. While delivery may be slower, it is more cost-effective and avoids the additional brokerage fees charged by UPS.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days from the date you receive your item to request a return.
