I've seen lots of vehicles with hoods propped open in campgrounds where squirrels, chipmunks, golden mantle ground squirrels, and woodrats are present; I've also seen the little critters carrying seed cones into the open engine compartments!  Having the hood propped open does make it easier to notice the mischief they're up to, though! ;-)

Maybe the propped-open hood can work in some areas, and it's certainly worth trying; it's true that rodents prefer dark, closed spaces to make their nests, but, seriously, I have no idea what will work to keep rodents and whatnot out of the engine compartment except constant vigilance and/or parking/storing/camping in "rodent-free zones", and I can't say where those "sanitized" locations might be! :-(

Going out to check the engine compartment...
