travel with dog in trailer?
Anyone travel with your pets in the trailer while underway? (This assumes the trailer temp will be at a comfortable level). I'm thinking I might give it a try.

I don't think the trailer is necessarily unsafe - animals ride in trailers every day on our highways - horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and so on.
I personally don't like the idea of being on the road for X hours and not being aware as to what is going on with my animals. If the dog suddenly had a seizure, or got hit with something that came loose, I could be driving another 3 hours while they laid there hurt or dying. Or simply something coming loose and making a weird noise that freaks out the dog during that drive - it may be bad enough for the dog to cause him/her to not enjoy road trips anymore, and I'd be clueless. That is why I always had them in the SUV with me when I had the trailer.
Now, they and the bird ride in the clipper together and I can know exactly what is going on with them at all times.
