I don't see the issue. Thanks for all the input the folks. One thing that seems to make a HUGE difference: if you plan on being gone for a few hours - take the dog for a nice long walk first! Tired dogs are good dogs. On our Alaska trip, Hubby and I wanted to take a 1/2-day boat tour, so walked the dogs pretty much around the perimeter of Valdez. When we got back to the RV, the dogs were STILL passed out - clearly they didn't miss us in the slightest....LOL! VERY true, I'm looking forward to my trips with the pup and family. Sounds like a lot of people are doing some more primative camping than I'm looking at lol. I would look to boondock somewhere but I doubt the wife would go for that. Right now it's gonna be Yogi Bear campgrounds and maybe some KOA. Eventually I'd like to expand my camping horizons.447Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camping with my dog

Hi, I'm Kevin and just purchased my first TT. I have a 50lbs dog that will be coming with us on our weekend warrior trips. My question is that lets say the wife and kids want to go to the pool. Is it against any rules or looked down upon to put the dog (Murphy) in a cage outside under the awning with a supply of water? He loves being outside and I don't see a very good reason why this wouldn't be allowed or looked down upon, but I don't know. The cage is too big to leave in the TT. Other options of course are a staked cable dog leash. My issue with them is that before my fence was put up in my house we used that and he constantly got tangled up and stuck on things. Of course if it was extremely hot or cold I wouldn't do this. He's still under a year old and has alot of puppy left in him so I don't want to come home to a brand new chewed up TT.9.5KViews0likes35CommentsLeaving dog at campsite
Hi I'm Kevin and I just purchased my first travel trailer. I searched the forum however didn't find anything that matched my question. We will be taking our 50lbs mix breed "mutt" Murphy with us when we go to different campgrounds. Murphy loves to be outside and he's not quite a year old yet. He's crate trained and is not allowed to roam free of the house when we're not home. Mostly because I have two small children and he will chew up the toys. We have a large dog cage that he sleeps in with a water supply connected to it. I was wondering if while at campgrounds I could leave my dog in the cage, with water while the family16KViews0likes60Comments
