I have mentioned my cat Spike several times, everyone's pets are special but not all of them will adapt to life in a MoHo. Spike started hating the car a few years after he was rescued and really hated the MoHo at first. As years went by he mellowed but really didn't like motor vehicles. As he lost his hearing and eyesight he mellowed even more but hated being in a vehicle. After a training period to acclimate him to the RV he became a good travel companion and an better friend. One time we left on a trip, Alaska to be exact, he was very vocal, read that as loud and obnoxious until, we passed his Dr's office. Once past the Dr's office he was fine for the next 3 months and 13,000 miles. Doesn't have much to do with the OP but it warms the cockles of my heart and I love to tell it.
It is uncanny how dogs that lose their eyesight and hearing learn to adapt with their inner clock and still be functional. :B
When I was a kid and we took off to our summer home which was 2 hours away our dog would sleep like a rock on the front seat until the last turn to go down the street to the house and he'd be up yelping and scratching at the car window! No one would believe it until they took the trip with us and witnessed it. Gotta love em.
