My storage shed use to be a grain storage shed 50' x 336'. It has seen
it's better days and there are literally a hundred entry points or more.
But I keep the Motor Home out of the weather.
If no animals you care about can get in the shed then I would do this. Put out a lot of bait blocks at the sides of the building and more about 10 or 15' in front and back of the GMC. Then I would get rat glue traps and put 2 or 3 around each tire or tire pair. The theory on the blocks is it causes them to hemorage internally and die. Before death they supposidly are thirsty and will search for water, outside. The Glue traps are to get any that become too familiar with the location of your GMC. I would use rat traps as the mice can drag off the mouse glue traps. Also if any mice get trapped and die on the glue others may be attacted to eat their buddy (hey food is food) and get trapped on the glue traps. Inspect the "system" every week or so. I have not tried this exact system but, if given your situation, that is what I would try. The "U'per" mouse traps are also effective if constructed properly.
