We too have an Itasca (04) and have been RVing since 2001. We now have four dogs and our vanity plate is 4RDOGS.
We started RVing after one of our dogs died at a boarding place while we were on vacation. We swore never again and bought our first MH to take them with us. Best decision we made. We even travelled with our bird before he died who would ride on my shoulder and liked to help me drive.
We currently have 3 mutts and a tweenie dachshund all are rescue and love to travel.
FeeBi - small Shepard mix and the smart one of the bunch
Daphne - the tweenie dachshund and mother of the group
Sophie - Beagle terrier with a metal plate in her front right leg who reminds us every time she wants something by holding it up for sympathy.
Darzee - a corgi sheltie the playful and most energetic of our group.
