Comments/concerns?
Honestly I would NEVER have my pets ride in the trailer. There was a time when we had to go to the dump station down the road from our spot, we travel with 3 cats and I didn't want to have to chase them and kennel them for a 15 min. endeavor. So, I decided to hang with them in our bedroom, with the slides in and the door closed thinking they'll be OK because I'll be with them. My husband drove our T.V. for a total of 1 mile at 10 mph. Let me tell you, HOLY COW!! We bounced all over that small bedroom and it was so rough, (paved road) and very loud (remember they aren't really insulated for sound.. It was scary for me and the cats! It's not what it seems like it would be! We drive with them over the road in individual kennels in the back seat with seat belts and this way they are secure and safe with us and know they won't die, they're scared to death with us in the truck, so I'd say being in the trailer is a very bad experience.

Takes the edge off and is a mild sedative that helps them sleep.

Your pictures brought back memories of our little Kazzie, who left us a couple years ago at the age of 19.
When we first started traveling she would sit on DW's lap and shiver until we drove past the vet's building, then she would settle down and nap.
Here is a pic of her "lounging" on the console while heading south for the winter.

Jim, "she would sit on DW's lap and shiver until we drove past the vet's building" My wife laughed out loud when I read that to her. Our Patches was exactly the same way.

What a Sweetheart!


Rizzo loves the MH. New girl, Momma Dawn still isn’t thrilled we are her new owners, but she traveled so much better in the MH than the pickup. I don’t get it.

Youtube for Changing Lanes channel nd search for where they upgraded their toyhauler suspension. They do a ride-inside video before and after of the 5er. Be surprised at how uncomfortable it can be for your pets watching it.
