Tips for keeping pack rats/wood rats out of your rig while you’re camping in the woods?

Last night I bailed out of a camp in the middle of the night due to a pack rat that wouldn’t leave my truck alone all night. I chased that bastard out 4 times (it was so noisy running down the frame rail it woke me up every time) and he kept coming back even after I nailed him with a rock at one point. Wasn’t trying to take pot shots at a rat in the dark with a 1911 either. ???? I eventually gave up after it became apparent I wasn’t gonna be able to sleep with him making noise and worrying about him chewing my wiring harness…

Anyone have tips for keeping those little fuckers away? This is the second time this has happened to me, although last time was 10+ years ago.
