    Wonderful. I bought these panels for my backyard and will definitely bring them with me when I travel in my RV. I’m getting ready to retire and will be setting out soon. Thanks for the video! Safe travels!😊

    We bought 2 sets of the 32" panels. 4 gates. After you have set it up a couple times you start to know where to put the gates. It can also be set up on uneven ground. You can climb shallow hills also. The alignment holes don't always have to be "narrow set inside wider set". You can set them together pretty much any way you want. As for the rods I never pound mine in. What I can press in by hand is good enough but in reality you can set it up on blacktop and it won't fall over. We carry ours in a trailer hitch rack on the back of the RV. Made a cage around the rack and just drop the panels in and one strap. The rods go in the front basement. Takes less than 5 minutes to set up. The only drawback was price for 2 sets. Stil, we love them and the lads especially love them.

      That's a great idea about the rear cargo rack, Dan! Thanks for sharing that. I hammered in the stakes because we are here for another 6 weeks, however for portability you definitely don't need to do that.

    We almost bought a set last year. I have been waiting for a review like this to see the setup of the system.
    Thanks for the video, maybe next time you can do a viseo with the takedown and storeage while traveling with it.

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  ปีที่แล้ว

      Takedown is just the opposite, of course: pull the rods and bundle the panels. We'll be traveling with three bundles of panels in the truck bed: 8-32" panels (x2) and 6-24" panels.

      I’ve seen a lot of dog corrals like this while on the road but this looks like a really good one. I would love to have one for our new puppy but , where to store it while in transit. I think if we stayed in one spot more than a week we would get one, maybe one day when we spend the winters in florida in one spot instead of moving so much. Looks like Zoey looks happy but will she jump it. Larry

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  ปีที่แล้ว

      @@leapnlarry I know Zoe well enough to know that she won't jump it; however, the panels come as high as 50" for those who need more restriction. I'm planning on letting these ride in the truck bed alongside the fifth wheel hitch.

    We just got this enclosure, used it for the first time. Great product, easily put up and taken down, allows our lab to be outside with us, and enjoying the out of doors. We also bought the carrying straps which are invaluable in putting it in the basement of our fifth wheel.

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad to hear of your experience, Mark! I suspect that we'll be primarily boondocking this upcoming season, but for those nights in campgrounds we see this enclosure as something invaluable for Zoe's and our enjoyment of the patio area.

    We use PetSafe radio fence with collars for our 2 dogs. We can easily move it from our house to the RV. It only has 2 drawbacks, needs electric (120) and some training.

    • @JaneJones1
      @JaneJones1 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thx JD I’ve been thinking of trying these! I’ve been wondering though how are you get them to cross the “barrier” when you want to go out on walks? I was thinking maybe I could teach them to cross a “magic” yoga mat that I could roll out? Lol I don’t know. One of my dogs is too big for me to pick up so …

    • @salemdogadventures
      @salemdogadventures ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Don’t use shock collars. Especially when moving from camp site to camp site. That’s gonna be really difficult and asking a lot of the dog when you could just use one of these. Much more humane. The “radio” or electric fence works by shocking the dog. If that spot is changing often it’s gonna cause stress and anxiety to the dog because there’s a lack of consistency and clarity. Dogs don’t generalize ideas and things in the same way we do as humans.

    Thank you so much for the great review! We have 2 Labs and this looks perfect. When we are home they are used to being off leash so when camping it’s always stressful with only having the leash option. thanks again.

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You bet, Jennifer! As we're in the East this season we're confined to campgrounds, so we've been setting the enclosure up each week -- including now. It's a terrific option.

  • @CharlesinGA
    @CharlesinGA ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Many campgrounds do not allow animal enclosures, but I suppose boondocking while you are close by it would work, better than a leash or cable run.

    I have a portable pen for my two, less than 20lb pets. I could take it with me in my RV but being metal it is quite heavy, even though it is only about 3ft tall. My RV is only 22 ft long, not a massive motor home.

    • @GrandAdventure
      @GrandAdventure  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The nice thing about this particular pen is that it's rather light weight. I'm a 98-lb weakling, but I can still easily lift and move these panels in bundles of 8.
