I would have called it a square connector tube until DRV told me what they called it. Same setup in lots of Lippert frames with slides. That sliding tube makes it way easier to adjust the sides when...

Sounds like a real mystery--has to be a way in, and out. At least the damage is not hard to repair.
Don't know of any raccoon repellent...short of a trap.
