Travling with a TC and a cat

We keep the window pass through between the cab and TC open. Litter box goes behind me and we have 3" foam padding level on top of the box at side door window level for him to look out. We keep his large carrier with bed pad on the other side of the rear bench so he has a dark place to hide if he wants. We leave a little food and water on the seat between those two items. That really takes care of his needs. It's easy to clean the cat box when needed. He likes to get up into the bed at night with us or he'll go do his cat thing. We move the food into the camper at night to encourage him to spend time with the humans. In the daytime if we go anywhere, we open the TC cab over windows and turn the Fantastic vent to draw air outside. He can also get into the cab if it gets too hot. The cab never gets hotter than the ambient temperature as it is always fully shaded by the TC so we don't worry about him getting too hot. He will also lay next to the window and the fan draws in a decent breeze across him so that keeps him cool too. Heat has never been a problem. Winter camping we leave the furnace at 60 but he will also climb under the bed blankets so he's seems smart enough to stay warm. He's trained to walk on a leash. He knows the only way he's ever going to get out that TC door is on leash. When we walk him, we keep a close eye out for dogs and other problems before they become problems. If crossing borders, be sure to get the needed shots and keep the papers with you. For us, it's worked out really great to take Charlie along. He's more like a dog than a cat so that makes him easier than some other cats. Take the cat camping for a night in the driveway and see how it goes for a couple nights. Give kitty a couple nights under the belt and I bet it'll work out.





We added the opening pass through window since this picture was taken just for him but it also made the truck rear view mirror easier to use since I didn't have to look at traffic through three darkened glass layers, now just the TC door window.


Charlie leering at us walking away. You could see how bad he wanted to go with us.

Everybody gets their spot around the campfire.


Wakeup one.

It's been great fun taking Charlie along.
