Not a 5er and not a dog, but if we want to take our cat with us, he has to ride in the TT. I've posted before how he gets motion sickness and vomits and poos all over everything, but rides good in the TT in the shower with the glass door closed with his litter pan.
But, with Summer on right now, and today we traveled in 96 degree temperatures across Illinois, we paid very careful attention to the temperature in the camper.
First, we have an indoor out door wireless thermometer we use to monitor the temperature in the camper when in the truck.
Second, we found out if we open all the exhaust vents (3 of them) and turn on the bathroom exhaust fan, even in that 96 degree outside temperature, the inside of the camper maintained about 80 degrees. Yea it was a little stuffy, but not hot. The cat did just fine today in the shower, but was really ready to come out every time we stopped and used the potty!
We also left one of the rear windows slightly cracked to help create a bit of air flow. I think it worked, because today was the hottest day we've ever traveled with the cat in the camper since we started do this. The cat absolutely cannot ride in the truck, or in a crate. He vomits and poos and nothing worse that smelling cat poo and cleaning it off cat fur when your barrelling down the road at 60 mph and no where to pull over. It's quite smelly and unpleasant.
(FYI, our dog rides in the truck with us. He so chilled out it's pathetic!)
