Ben and Moose, our two 95# Yellow Labs ride in the TV camper. We have a sliding window between the cab and camper so we can visit and give them doggie cookies.

Our well loved pups ride in the tow vehicle, in the dog crates in the back of the pickup which has a cab--open slider windows. Hubby is particular about maintaining the interior of the truck--course we have a child in the back seat in his booster, he works hard to compensate for the absence of the dog drool/fur!

Our 2 bassets alternate between the couch, doghouse and front side chair in the MoHo. They are old pros at it now they just get in and fall asleep and look out the windows when our speed changes. We are getting a 4 month old rescue kitty tomorrow and he is going for his first trip over thanksgiving!

My dog(s) (yes Ed the Beagle has 2 roommates, a yellow lab and a senior Golden) all ride in the tow vehicle on the back deck (cargo area). I used to have a partition behind the back seat to keep them there but now they know that is their spot so I don't use the partition anymore. It really helps keep the mud and hair off the seats.

The Golden is too old to travel much anymore and the Lab is still a little too NUTS for camping but she is getting there. She'll show up at a rally soon.

Jacques, the Douge de Bordeaux (See avatar), rides on the couch of the motorhome. This is the only piece of furniture he is allowed on. Before we did the remodel, the rig was very noisy with lots of bad sounds, he was very nervous riding on the floor, hence the dispensation.

Last New Years eve in Mexico, the fireworks were insane (m80s) so he decided to get in bed with us. That wasn't a good thing so I had to get up and sit on the couch with him and hug him and keep him calm. It was a long night.

I've been trying to find some info on where to put our growing dog while travelling longer distances. Our trip to Florida takes 2 full driving days, and the dog simply is no longer able to lie down in between our sons' car seats. We don't have a cap on the truck so she can't go there in her crate.

I was briefly toying with the idea of putting her in her crate in the trailer while enroute, with plenty of rest stops along the way of course. I'm also wondering if a baby monitor would work while travelling, so we can hear if anything odd happens...Hmm - either that or a wireless camera system...there must be lots of inexpensive units out there.

Does anyone put their dogs in their crates in the trailer? And does anyone have a sound or video system to keep tabs on what's going on back there?

Cheers,

Michelle

My Kitty rides in the TV with me usually in the lap or asleep in the back seat.

The dog will love it and your son will be too worried you might make good on the threat!

Our two standard poodles, Sabrina and Ellie, have the back seat of the Ridgeline all to themselves. The space between the front and back seats is filled with our luggage so they have a roomy platform to stretch out on.

After eight years of riding loose in the back of the old Blazer,we were

involved in a fairly severe fender-bender...J.D. (just dog) would never

again get in the truck on his own.

Fado is perfectly happy riding in his crate in the back of the Burb.

We usually stop every three hours for a comfort brake...happy dog

happy dog!!

I have a Question?Where Has this thread been? I am just now seeing it and it dates back to 10/2006.?
I have pics but not small enought to post. We just bought our 77 Overlander in OCT so we didn't get a trip. Our 2 Schunazers have taken over the goucho when ever the door to the trailer is open and Im work in there.
They will however ride in the crew cab with my wife and I,Amanda on the backseat and Gidget on my lap.. Oh neither one drives,LOL

They're getting along better since that post over a year ago. The dog has mellowed and the boy doesn't get as bored as he used to. Things are a little more harmonious in the back see now.

Our two Maltese/Poodles ride in the backseat for the most part. They love to be up front, but that gets difficult to manage when trying to drive. We sometimes put a baby gate up to keep them in the back.

Minnie's Mate · 12-03-2007, 11:25 AM

We have a seat belt for our Sulley. He doesn't like it because it restricts his movement...but that is the idea. We got one for our previous dog about 17 years ago and have used one since. I don't want him flying around the cabin in the event of an emergency stop or worse. Plus, it keeps him from trying to get into my lap while I drive. He is so glued to me that he would try if he had the chance.

BTW, Ihall, that's a cutie!
