I am not familiar witht he Class C Tioga floorplan. What about above the cab? Is that space set up for sleeping? Or are the TV and cabinetry up there? If it is set up for sleeping, that might be ideal. You could strap the cages in securely, and the birds would be above the dogs.
As for cooking, just make sure your fans are on and venting out. Do whatever cooking you can outside. We grill everything, so we purchased a 'T' adaptor for our propane tank, and set up a 2-burner stove outside as well. Beware electric grills. Some don't mention it on the packaging, but they have teflon on them.
Wire bottom cages are good on many levels. Birds - especially cockatoos- love to forage. It is a healthy behavior that should not be discouraged. While the bird is standing on the wire, they have to work to get the morsels they find. Itis work for them, and mentally a win for them.
As my previous post noted...just be sure to socialize and interact with the birds, and you will be fine. You know your birds and what will freak them out.
Frankly, I would be more worried about 4 dogs! In a Class C! What if they all had gas and started farting?
Yes, there is a bed up above, hubby's domain. LOL I get the foldout couch with the dogs. LOL But maybe we could find away to strap them up there. The dogs do not actually bother them other than to look in on them. They are small dogs and respect the beak. LOL Yes we do plan to have them out some of the time every day, so that should help too. And I will favorite toys too.
I am seriously thinking about outside grill too. But I did buy a couple gas detectors and carbon monoxide detector. Figure that is good for us too.
How do you use a t-adapter to hook in? We are totally new to this and I am the tomboy, plus the camper of the two of us so I will need directions or a place to find them to do anything. LOL
