cats, dogs, fifth wheels?

We are in the process of deciding MH or Fifth Wheel. We are about a year away from purchasing. Then first year out after purchasing would be for just 4 months of travel and come back to s&b to work 8 months. Then, maybe, work-camping part years or full time after that. We are open (read undecided).

We have a 9year old dog and a young cat (1 year old). Neither one is "car trained".
We are leaning toward a Fifth Wheel because I'm 6'8" and for the feel of the 5'er.
We're interested in peoples experiences traveling with a cat and dog. We figured the dog in the truck, possibly in a kennel in the backseat of a dually crew-cab truck. What about the cat?? What do people do with the cat when traveling... in a kennel in the truck...in a kennel in the Fifth Wheel...loose in the Fifth Wheel...???

We fulltime in a 5th wheel, so I never considered getting a dog. Too much trouble. As for cats . . . . . we have 2 cats, and they are very good. We put the cats in a big dog caring crate. We put it on the backseat with a towel coverning up the crate.. They really don't like it, but accept it. They have no choice, but they do not object much.
I would never, never, ever turn the cats loose in the 5th wheel.
As for dogs I see a lot of campers have them. I think that dogs belong outside, not in a travel trailer.
