How are your dogs doing with Class B?

[kmessinger]

We have a 55 pound Border Collie mix and have no problem with him in our Travato. One thing to keep in mind though - there are some breeds that commercial campgrounds will not accept. https://workatkoa.com/blog/how-to-rv-with-pets/

We have a 2003 Roadtrek Popular 190 class B rv. We are not big people 155 and 125 lbs. Long weekends with one German Shepherd is doable but be prepared to deal with hair in a more concentrated manner than in your home. Once we got our second german shepard we gave up on traveling with dogs. It just becomes a clown car full of idiots even though our dogs are well behaved and settle down - they are dogs and come from a working line so they are not lap dogs. I think they enjoy their time in doggie day care playing with other dogs more than being on the road in a van.

My VERY dear, 14 yr-old recently-departed 50lb Irish Setter (long-of-body AND tail) travelled with us happily all over in my 20-yr old RT190Pop. 'Bree' was very well-behaved and caused no problems at all. As long as she was with me, she'd endure anything. Never left her confined in the van....like other have stated...whether we were in or out, she was with us. She was always tethered at the campsite, ans always within range of a petting. On the road, she travelled well; when camped we were outside almost every minute; and at night she'd curl up on her bed on the floor close to the driving compartment and stay there until one of us moved in the morning. Never a speck of trouble. As previously stated, I feel as long as your dog knows he/she is loved, and is with you, they'll endure happily most every sort of discomfort. Happy Trails!

We’ve taken our chocolate lab and little Chihuahua with us on cross country trips the past three summers. One reason we wanted a class B was so that we could travel with our dogs. Plus dogs are much happier with their owner than being stuck in a kennel. Kennels are also unhealthy places for animals.
I just returned from a 4200 mile 2 Week road trip with the chocolate lab. Had a great time. Did tons of hiking and trail running! We both lost weight!

I travel with my 80 pound GSD all the time in my Agile. I have a rug/dog bed right behind the cab, and she either hangs out there or on the back bed while driving. At night she sleeps in her bed on the floor, again behind the cab. She's a big dog, so if I need to move about the coach I tell her to just get back on the back bed. If my husband is with me it does get a little interesting! I do worry about leaving her for extended times. I'm comfortable with about an hour, and she's ok with that. If it's hot I can leave the air on and the voltstart in my Agile will kick in if the battery gets too low. I do need to frequently vacuum, GSD's are sheddars and the hair will quickly take over the coach!

currently our two dogs either go where we go while camping or stay home with a sitter
we've never left them alone for more than 10-15 minutes in the camper at a stretch nor will we

as to size...we've camped with an irish wolfhound, greyhound and three terriers in a camper not much bigger than our van and it worked out
