Do you travel with your dog in your fifth wheel?

Our dog is having trouble with her back and the vet advised her not to jump for 6 weeks. The truck is too tall for her to get into anymore and she is too big for us to lift safely.

We are trying to think of alternatives and considering a hard plastic crate and securing in on the inside of the fifth wheel.

Does anyone leave their dogs in their fifth wheel while traveling? If so would like to hear how you have set it up for them to travel.

Thank you.

How will getting in and out of the 5th wheel be any different (hard on your dog's back) than in and out of the tow vehicle? If it were my dog I would look into a dog ramp that can aid in getting in and out of both the 5th wheel and tow vehicle.
