think I just found a bunch of termites in here per the work I have been doing getting roten wood out of the bedroom. I am no expert but they are very tiny white creatures the move fast and erratically . I will bring them along to the next Barth Gathering to spread the joy. Anyone have experience with this. Now I am afraid to put the coach in my pole barn.
sounds like "dry wood termites" google "em

Just spotted this post while looking for something else. Check the droppings with a magnifier. If they are cylindrical with eight sides, they are drywood termites. If you want to spend 500 bucks, have it tented. If you want to spend 5 bucks, find the exit holes above the droppings and spray them with a straw with a good pirethryn based insecticide. Then be thankful the main framing is aluminum.
