Anyone take a cat along while traveling in your B?How do you keep it from accidentally getting out and potentially lost?

If you want to be sure, put him in a cat carrier when you go out. Cats can be remarkably quick when they want something.

We carried our lovable cat on a trip once which didn't end well...Had the lease but not a cat cage...We walked around a couple of times and thought all would be ok... When we were packing up to leave after a couple days camping the cat darted out and disappeared on us in the bush... We called and called and looked everywhere but couldn't find him. We waited as long as we could hoping he would come back up.. Tried all the tricks including banging his cat dish etc... I can guarantee the cat was watching us from afar and not like a dog would not come to us when called...We finally had to leave without him - Sad day...Roy and Carolyn

Our cats lately have been indoor cats so haven't experienced the great out doors. Zippy, our calico cat, used to ride everywhere with us, along with Carlie, our Sheltie at the time. She would always ride back on our bed or curled up on the floor with the dog; days at the CG she spent stretched out on the dashboard in the sun. Nights were spent with us on one of our twin beds. We used a cedar chip litter (no litter odor) in front of the seat or in the door well when under way. I think if we still had a cat it would be in a carrier, as our dog is now, when underway.

Our two just ride along and find their own place to hide. Just be carefull when leaving the door open. Never had one bolt out.

We don't have a class B, but do take our cat with us on almost all camping trips. She travels really great, much easier to deal with than the dog (no 5AM potty walks).Just watch the door when you get in/out.

We are concerned about keeping the RV cool if its hot outside when traveling with the cat. So far we have been able to use a temp controlled Fantastic ceiling fan and its keep the rv 80 degrees or under. However, we have not been where its really hot. In that case we may need to leave the air conditioner on. That should work ok if we are in a RV park (pretty noisy inside) but not if we are in a forest service campground or boondocking.

Just something that we will have to be careful to address when we leave the cat alone in the RV.

^^ Yes - the exact reason our B won't work for us in all circumstances.

When we went to Boston we would leave our truck in a big parking lot all day while we took a ferry into the city. It was 94* and sunny - there is no way we could have left the cats in that heat. They were safely back at the campground in our trailer with the AC on.
