I don't have cats - but have a Class C; and can see the advantages of being able to stop for a snack break/potty break, whatever - and never having to open the door to go outside (and having a cat escape). I guess one could tape something like hardware cloth (metal screen) over the existing window screens to prevent holes (they make metal screens/grates that can go over the screen door). But if you have a cat that can bolt through an open door - you'll need good ID on the kitty - and some sort of system to make sure that never happens (like never opening a door until Houdini is in his crate). And if it was *me* - I'd be training the bolter to not do that? I'm thinking "hubby opening door at home and as cat zooms out - I blast it with a Super Soaker water gun". There are SO many things at campgrounds that are NOT cat-friendly, like big dogs/cars/wildlife/etc
A) He is NOT faster or more agile than me
B) When the door opens, a foot follows instantly. If he is standing by the door, he will get punted like a football.
C) The great outdoors has no ceiling overhead. This makes him extremely nervous.
They make "animal proof" replacement screen material if your kitty wrecks the window screens. It's cheap and easy to install.
