Tofino is one of our favourites too! There’s just something about the west coast of the island that keeps us coming back again and again. Absolutely loved the drone footage in this one 🙌🏻 Oh man I have PTSD from the mice too 😂 when I was tarp camping last year I woke up to a bunch of them all over me and my gear. That was the last time I tarp camped for a while haha😅

Hi from Vancouver. We have the exact same van and have also had mice (but know they can get into any vehicle). We have traveled for months at a time all over the US, BC and Alberta and never had intruders until we camped at the Squamish Riverside Forestry campground. Other people have had mice in their vehicles there too (according to google reviews). We think the mouse came in somewhere from under the dash because it appeared to leave that way. So many access points form the motor area. We have traps now.

Tofino is magical!..you must have camped at Bella Pacifica?..stunning if not expensive campground..but extremely limited there unfortunately. Beautiful video guys👍 FYI, mice getting into your van is inevitable..the windows are the least of your concerns..there are a thousand entry points on any vehicle..they can slip through a hole the size of a dime. Traps are the best defense, always have them set and check them daily..they can and will do stupid amounts of damage.

It's a busy spot but we always love visiting ! It was actually Mackenzie Beach Resort! Pretty cool spot. It was the cheapest spot to set up a tent a couple years ago when we visited (don't know about now). The mice situation was a bit traumatizing but hasn't happened since (this was filmed a couple months back)! So that's a good sign haha thanks for watching !

Amazon sells live catch mouse traps that work really well. We’ve got an old farm house built in 1940 so we’re constantly dealing with mice. I catch them & carry them across the field to the woods. They don’t take up much space, you put peanut butter in back that slides out, set the front (it looks like a mouse tunnel) and when it catches one the door shuts. To get the mouse out you slide the back end that holds the bait out and let the mouse run out.
