We had a field mouse living in our caravan that's in storage about 3 years ago. The first question is what do you have in the caravan that is an attraction to them? Well, we found out the hard way but luckily no soft furnishings were destroyed except for the polystyrene insulation around the hot water tank that they had a good nibble on. There was a shoe box under the seat (home) inside was a pair of my wife's slippers (bedding) so that's what the attraction was but what was the food chain. Well there were some non perishable doggy chew sticks in a plastic bag and it wasn't till I got them out that the little devil's had had a feast. So everything was there from the living quarters to the dining table as so to speak. Anyway, we removed all the attractions and went a step further and purchased a battery operated sonic rodent repeller that operates off a 9 volt battery. We have had one installed now for 6 months and it seemed to have done the trick as I have just returned to changed the battery. I bought mine off Ebay for £12.95 with free p&p so it's well worth the investment without breaking the bank and also a good deterrent for the future. I much prefer to keep the mice at bay rather than set traps and kill them as I appreciate nature as many others do that camp etc. Anyway, here is the Ebay link for the rodent repeller.
