Hi Friends! 👋 So much great information You are all lucky to have each other - loved hearing their stories. ❤ We have the same cushion covers! Take care - Jody
Soooo, we made a liter box area under the stairs. Our cat crawls through the shoe storage area and once under the stairs it opens up to a full sized liter box with room to move around. I did have to re-configure the stairs some but it works great for us. We have a grand design 310 GK, very similar to your rig. Wish I could post pic🤨
Hi Guys, Great video! We have been RVing with our pets for over 20 years, buy you have some great suggestions and ideas for the new Vilano, (still no truck), we can always learn something. People are always asking if we take our dogs with us when we travel. Our response is "Always, they are family!" Fender & Chardonnay get so excited when they see the trailer out in front of the house. As Callie says "pets need vacations too!" You are great pet parents. Looking forward to next video, Callie & Bob
Hi Bob and Callie! Love your pets names! Hope you get your truck soon! You sound like great people and it would be fun to meet up once you get rolling. As always Thank you for connecting and take good care!
Hello! We used to have a schnauzer as well 💙. Good to know you like the key less locking system! The sensors are great! You can find the link in description below video if you want to see what we use. Take good care and happy travels!
Tammy, where did you rescue Scoot from and did you have him micro chipped. Just kidding Scott. Thought you were Tammy's pet also. Great video. Stay safe and I look forward to your next one.
We don’t have pets but I watched this anyway because you guys are so adorable. This was an excellent video and you guys are very caring pet parents. The litter idea is fantastic. It was a weird coincidence that this video came up right after I read a post on the irv2 forum complaining about pets in the campgrounds. Several others chimed in about their pet owner gripes. I like what one person said which was there are no bad pets only bad pet owners. Several said they want pet free campgrounds or at least a separate area.
Hi Cecilia! Thank you so much for your kindness!!! Interesting to hear about the rv forum too! I can understand their frustration and hope more pet owners take notice. Totally agree with you, no bad pets 🤗🤗🤗
Love the video.... We get many of the same questions since we travel with 4 cats. Funny thing, we have the same exact couch cover. Safe travels to the 4 of you. - Kyle and Michelle
Hello. I keep the poop bags tied to the leash so I have them all the time. Agree I’m always shocked why people don’t pick up after their pets. So rude & disrespectful. I ensure my pup is safe in an Impact crate strapped into the floor of the back seat area. Oh, good idea about the vet part. Thank you!
Hello! Thank you for watching! We ought to do that trick! Then Scott won’t walk out without them 😉. Yes, kenneling would be safest. I wish our pets would do that. Thank you for sharing and your support!
@@TilFurtherNotice Hello. Yes takes training. You can look up Bree Beery here on YT for support. She has videos on essential oil tip/tricks for animals & online training. If interested or if know anyone needing help. Thanks again for sharing. 🥹
Really great info!!! We don't travel with our pets but it was interesting to see how you do it. I have to admit I was curious about the litter box. I wish all pet owners were as considerate of others as you are. Some people seem to want to relax and not watch their kids or their pets while they're camping. Very disappointing. BTW we're also on a pet non replacement schedule now as well. Most of our cats and dogs have also been strays and we're down to our last cat. Our boys named her Orbit because she was orbiting our neighborhood before we took her in. 🤣
Hi friends! I love your Orbit story! The no replacement policy is a hard one 😂. Thank you for watching and I hope we satisfied the litter box mystery for you 😉
@@TilFurtherNotice You did. I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution that works for you guys. Cats are my fave but dealing with litterbox placement is always an issue. Ours are in our mudroom which works but we do end up with dust on our shoes and coats. (sigh) The things we put up with for our pets. Good thing they're cute! 🤣
Absolutely love you guys and your videos.. your fur babies are adorable! Enjoyed hearing how they came to be with you, their back story. So happy they found a good safe loving forever home with you guys! 😃
Thank you so very much Beth! I wasn’t sure whether to include their stories but felt like they are part of our story and important too 🤗. So appreciate you following along and leaving such a thoughtful comment!
Thanks for the great information for people who have pets in an RV. Our son and daughterin law just bought a GrandDesign and are going to live full time in a RV park. So this has been great information for them . Also I really do enjoy following you to and the pets. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
Love the winks and nods!! ❤️❤️ So much to think about when camping with vets!! 😵💫 Great litter box set up!! 👏👏 I'm pretty sure that dogs treats taste and smell like cat food with special touches!! 😆💩 Our almost 14 year old standard poodle goes a bit crazy when the canned cat food is being served up. 🐩 Our laundry room doubles as a cat room with litter and food and snuggle spots in there. Then we have a closable gate at the door. The humans just need to remember to close said gate!! 🤦♀️ Also keeps sorted dirty laundry away from dog mouths🤢 & cat toys go in there for storage. We had a golden retriever who loved to eat the sparkly cat toy balls. My husband laughed when he gathered one in her poo!! 😂 No more sparkly cat toy balls. 🌟 We also had a cat who only loved the purple pom balls. 💜 When we moved out of that house, we found she had stashed them all under the furnace in the trailer home's furnace closet!! 🤣 Like RVs, lots of space around all doors. One of our kittens fit UNDER all of the doors except the coat closet door for the until she was at least 4 months old!! 🐈 They are so slippery!! Living with pets makes life more fun except for the expense of vet visits!! 🥰
Hello my sweet friend! Always so fun hearing your stories! The sparkling ✨ cat balls 🤣. And stash of purple poms. So funny! Thank you so much for sharing and making our day brighter! Love and hugs
Definitely get the locks with the code access! They are great for those unexpected potty walks. You don't have to run and get the keys or worry about losing your keys. By far our favorite upgrade. It's also very easy to change the code if you need to.
@@TilFurtherNotice So easy to install and so wonderful to be able to easily lock up and not have to worry about losing your keys in the lake (or wherever).
What a brilliant video! We couldn’t think about traveling without our dog as she means everything to us. She’s also a qualified care dog initially trained for me however, anyone in distress and she’s off to help. She seems to know automatically if people are pet friendly or not and runs her life accordingly. She has her own toys 🧸 and loves them all. She’s never touched even a sock or anything else that is not hers. It’s been so useful to see how you arrange your life on the open road with pets. It’s not often we leave her on her own as she’s allowed to enter shops and restaurants etc due to her special jacket or bandana. You two have given us ideas and valuable information about traveling with animals which I really appreciate for our future life. Crem (an abbreviation of Crement the sparkling French wine) is an important part of our lives and loves just being with us wherever we go. I’m not sure how she’ll cope with the flight over but, we’ve decided she’ll travel with us and not in cargo. Being a care dog she’s allowed her own seat 😊! Another week passed and I’m so grateful to you both for the content especially. Stay well and safe and see you next week. Much love, Lorrie xx
Thank you for sharing your story and kind words with us Lorrie! Definitely have her travel with you 💕. Excited to hear how your plans go moving forward. Stay safe and as always we appreciate your thoughtful comments!
I remember when I drove semi tractor-trailer and I'd be at a Flying J or T/A truckstop, and there were times when I'd see exiting a parked truck two or three dogs, a couple of kids, and a husband and wife, all living in that tiny space. Gracie & Jasper have acres in comparison. I had to imagine it must be Dr. Who's Tardis, truck version. Scott said he was going to start calling you "Poopsie". My daughter, now 29, has always been called "Pookie", so I'll have to forget what I heard so I don't inadvertently use that on my daughter. 😅 Great story about Gracie. You've given her such a good life. Jasper too, but cats typically just believe they deserve their owner's servitude.
Hi Wayne! Great story! I know people who travel with entire families like that. I’m not sure I could do it but I love your visuals 😂. Please do not accidentally call your daughter poopsie 🤣. You’re the best! Take good care and thanks for following along 🤗
Great video, lots of good tips. We have a class A and our cat Max likes to get a ride on the sofa when we move the slides in and out. Great to have our family together when we hit the road🐱😁👍. Stay safe and have fun🤗
I talked my husband into getting the travel trailer so we could take our 2 toy/mini poodles. I hated leaving them when we went on vacation. We don’t full time camp. But those 2 sure know when we are getting ready to go somewhere. They start following me around the house, they start whining, and jumping up. I think they get excited cause they know we are going somewhere. Anytime we go anywhere with them, they do this-even to the groomer or vet. Then they calm down after we get going. They are so smart! We rescued our little boy from a so called breeder! He lived the first 6 months of his life in a 4x4 playpen with no grooming, so loving, no potty training, and no socializing with other dogs!! It took a long time to get him acclimated to everything. He still has accidents, so we use pee pads in our camper too! And yes, we pick up the poo!! Glad your 2 babies found such loving parents!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! ❤️
Hi Lynn! It sounds like we have similar stories with the pups! I’m so happy they have you! It sounds like yours love rving too! Hello from our fur babies to yours! Thank you for sharing your story too 🤗
i have rescued a few animals . i think it is great you have done that. hate puppy mills. they were meant to be with you. i think they adopt us. God bless. ps we have 4 boston terriers. 2 we have rescued and we bring them all camping with us. and yes....we pick up all their poop. lol we are getting ready to leave this wednesday for all last 2022 trip. the only hard thing is we don't leave them to go off and explore. afraid we wouldn't have a camper left when we get back. but having them out weighs not having them. thanks for the tips, i am ordering the step pads for outdoors. take care, susan and chuck form louisiana
Hi Susan and Chuck! Thank you for sharing your story! Boston terriers are adorable! Thank you also for rescuing them! I agree, better to have them with you than not 🤗. Enjoy your last camping trip of the year!!!
That was a fun video. Thankfully we no longer have any pets, and we sure won't be getting anymore. Thank you for rescuing both Jasper and Gracie from such horrible living conditions they were both in. They are lucky to have you both.
Good to see you all! Great video and info. We have some of the same tips in the video we did on traveling with our Charlie. Oh, Charlie says hi 🐾 to Gracie and Jasper. Take care and be well.
Good video y'all! After watching this video, we think we don't want to get back into the pet business, LOL 😂We said we would give ourselves 2 years since we lost our last pet and 2 years have come and gone and we miss the companionship of a pet but Matthew does not miss the litter box as he was the one who had to deal with it, LOL 😂Glad that y'all were able to rescue Gracie! We hope to meet y'all and love on your pets someday! 😁 ~ Shion and Matthew
Hi friends! Yep, it’s a lot but we cherish the time with them. We will have to meet up and you can get your pet fix 😉. Happiest thanksgiving wishes headed your way!
Love seeing your critters. They are so sweet. By the time you see this you'll probably be gone from Gettysburg. You're close to where I live by 20 miles. Hope you enjoyed the area and if possible seeked out a Gettysburg ghost tour. Be safe in your travels and looking forward to your new adventures.
Hi Linda! Thank you for the kind words! You live in a gorgeous area! It was great. Unfortunately, no ghost tours this time but it was fascinating to say the least. Appreciate you watching!
Full time RV'r here... Cat litter being tracked around is, by far, the worst thing about traveling with a cat. Unfortunately, any mat we put in front of the box, the cat urinates on it! Even throw rugs he urinates on!!! Grrrr!!! But, I still love him. Our dog also likes eating the "Kitty Crunch Bars!" Ahhhhh!!!! LOL!!!
Hello! Thank you for watching and sharing your stories! Argh! The peeing thing is no joke. I’m glad Jasper doesn’t do that. So fun connecting with other full time RVers with pets! How long have you been at it?
We travel with our cat in a class A.. the litter box is a top entry and sits between the steering wheel and driver’s seat when we reach our destination. We tried the shower but we’d have to move it too much to shower. Your babies are precious! ❤
What advice would you give us who are planning full time , maybe if the economy ever gets better? Would you retire early and sell your house and do this all over again? Thx
Hello! Everyone’s journey and situation is so different that I don’t feel qualified to give advice in such a huge life change, but we have no regrets other than we wished we’d of had a Crystal ball that showed us the future and we would have waited to sell our house for a couple of years 😂.
@@rtoadontheroad exactly! Could have held on and got a lot more money for it but it’s ok! I imagine we will find a home base again and perhaps a smaller adventure mobile 😉
Great video. So many people don't pick up their fur kids poop. We always have bags. Also on another note, we keep vet records in our car. Where we go our dogs go so it makes life's little stresses a bit easier knowing we have the information. We have a dog that on Christmas day will turn 18. We pull him in a wagon so if one of the three poops, we just put the bag in the wagon until we get back. Stay safe and good blessings.
Hi Brenda! Thank you! Happy almost birthday to your senior pup! That’s a great idea about the vet records in the car too! I know you must have the best heart after reading this! Take good care 🤗
One of your best videos. Great information. I'll be full-time with a cat. Great idea to have vet number handy at each stay. Cute pet tent. Love you guys. You are so relatable and funny. Keep your videos coming. They make my day.
We just had to let our last cat go, but a5 one t8me we had two cats with us in the RV. We ended up using the Breeze pellet system. Got real tire of cat litter being tracked all over the RV. A lot cleaner than clay litter.
Sorry to hear that Michael 💙. We actually used that breeze system in our home at one time and forgot about it. Great advice! Thank you for watching and sharing your story!
Very informative pet video do’s and don’ts. I don’t RV but I may have a suggestion for the cat people. I use the breeze litter system by Purina. It is a pellet litter and has a tray for a pad to absorb the cat pee It is dust free not heavy for owners with dust allergies or back issues
@@TilFurtherNotice Just wondering what you didn’t like about it? I wish the grid tray holes were a bit smaller to prevent the pellets from getting stuck.🐈
Great video. We had a tent for our little shih tzu. One time my mom brought her Bichon and put him in there too. Our dog is a good camping dog but moms dog was not trained so when people rode by on a bike my mom's dog took off running so our dog ran too. It was hilarious 🤣 watching the tent run out to the road. They didn't get far but I almost peed myself laughing. I love the couch cover!!! I hate sitting on those nasty fake leather seats. I'm totally heading to your link for those.
I love your dog. I would like to get a dog for company when I retire and travel. Maybe I can find an Australian Greyhound except that I’m thinking they are expensive. This is as a great video. Have safe and happy travels.
Hi Polly! Gracie thanks you! Her medical needs are expensive 😉. We love her and she is a great traveler but Italian greyhounds are not for everyone. Thank you for watching!
It bothers us when people do not pick up their dogs poop! We keep poopie bags everywhere and also have had to use a tissue too, not the best but it worked! Gracie & Jasper seem quite happy & satisfied! Our Rusty loves to go, he can ride to mom's (7 hours with stops) and is happy to get right back in the truck to go again! He's a nut!🤣 Safe travels!
We are just starting part time and plan to take our 3 dogs with us. We did a lot of prep ahead of time by having them in the rv, just hanging out, for longer and longer periods. Familiar toys, beds, bowls, blankets etc also really helped. They did awesome on our shakedown trip a month or so ago. We love having them with us but it does take a fair amount of planning and preparation! Thanks for a great video on the topic!
Hello! Sounds like you are doing a great job at introducing them to your rv and preparing them for some adventures! You’ll have a blast! Enjoy and thank you for watching and sharing your stories!
Great info for the pets. We travel with 2 cats and trying to get them to try on a harness ranks up there with trying to give a cat a pill. Once the harness goes on they stop moving and don't go anywhere. We just started and hopefully it will get easier.
Hi Don! It will get easier in my experience! Jasper hated it and now waits at the door and asks to put it on😂. Safe travels and thank you for watching!
Great advise and fun video highlighting your pets. We really enjoy the ability to take our dogs (two Chihuahua’s) with us and they are living their best life’s (and making our adult children jealous!) LOL Safe Travels!
HEHEHE NO Pets. Way too much work. The sad thing is a LOT of people DO NOT PICK UP. 50% of the people do not show concern about anyone. Some Pet owners are doing a bad service to bring their pets with them. We go to the ocean a lot, and see a lot of pet owners look around to see if anyone saw their pet take a dump, if they think no one is looking they kick sand over it. Sorry for the rant about pets. I have see people leave their dogs alone for over a day, they barked the whole time they were gone. You guys are the exception. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Hi Tim! It would break my heart to hear a dog barking all day and night being left alone! We’ve only heard that on one occasion 😢. Let’s hope there are more good than bad pet owners out there! Thank you for sharing and watching!
Definitely get the locks with the code access! They are great for those unexpected potty walks. You don't have to run and get the keys or worry about losing your keys. By far our favorite upgrade. It's also very easy to change the code if you need to.
Soooo, we made a liter box area under the stairs. Our cat crawls through the shoe storage area and once under the stairs it opens up to a full sized liter box with room to move around. I did have to re-configure the stairs some but it works great for us. We have a grand design 310 GK, very similar to your rig. Wish I could post pic🤨
Hi Alan! I’ve heard of others that have done this! You’ve got my wheels turning but I’m not sure we have the space? I’m very familiar with the 310gk as that was top on our pick list for RVs 😉. Safe travels and thank you so much for sharing your story!
Thanks for the pet video. Very good information.
Thank you for watching Teri!
Well what can I say another great video, until next time friends stay safe and enjoy life ❤
Aww thank you so much Mark!

i have rescued a few animals . i think it is great you have done that. hate puppy mills. they were meant to be with you. i think they adopt us. God bless. ps we have 4 boston terriers. 2 we have rescued and we bring them all camping with us. and yes....we pick up all their poop. lol we are getting ready to leave this wednesday for all last 2022 trip. the only hard thing is we don't leave them to go off and explore. afraid we wouldn't have a camper left when we get back. but having them out weighs not having them. thanks for the tips, i am ordering the step pads for outdoors. take care, susan and chuck form louisiana
Hi Susan and Chuck! Thank you for sharing your story! Boston terriers are adorable! Thank you also for rescuing them! I agree, better to have them with you than not 🤗. Enjoy your last camping trip of the year!!!
That was fun! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Julie!
Great video xx
Thank you Yvonne!
That was a fun video. Thankfully we no longer have any pets, and we sure won't be getting anymore. Thank you for rescuing both Jasper and Gracie from such horrible living conditions they were both in. They are lucky to have you both.
Thank you Cindy! They brighten our days!
Good to see you all!
Great video and info. We have some of the same tips in the video we did on traveling with our Charlie. Oh, Charlie says hi 🐾 to Gracie and Jasper.
Take care and be well.
Hello! Nice to hear from you! I’ll have to check that out! Our fur balls send their love to Charlie! Travel safe!
Good video y'all! After watching this video, we think we don't want to get back into the pet business, LOL 😂We said we would give ourselves 2 years since we lost our last pet and 2 years have come and gone and we miss the companionship of a pet but Matthew does not miss the litter box as he was the one who had to deal with it, LOL 😂Glad that y'all were able to rescue Gracie! We hope to meet y'all and love on your pets someday! 😁 ~ Shion and Matthew
Hi friends! Yep, it’s a lot but we cherish the time with them. We will have to meet up and you can get your pet fix 😉. Happiest thanksgiving wishes headed your way!
Love seeing your critters. They are so sweet. By the time you see this you'll probably be gone from Gettysburg. You're close to where I live by 20 miles. Hope you enjoyed the area and if possible seeked out a Gettysburg ghost tour. Be safe in your travels and looking forward to your new adventures.
Hi Linda! Thank you for the kind words! You live in a gorgeous area! It was great. Unfortunately, no ghost tours this time but it was fascinating to say the least. Appreciate you watching!
Great info. Thank you.
Thank you for watching John!
Full time RV'r here... Cat litter being tracked around is, by far, the worst thing about traveling with a cat. Unfortunately, any mat we put in front of the box, the cat urinates on it! Even throw rugs he urinates on!!! Grrrr!!! But, I still love him. Our dog also likes eating the "Kitty Crunch Bars!" Ahhhhh!!!! LOL!!!
Hello! Thank you for watching and sharing your stories! Argh! The peeing thing is no joke. I’m glad Jasper doesn’t do that. So fun connecting with other full time RVers with pets! How long have you been at it?
Your fur babies needed you! You are so right about adopting! There are so many animals that need loving homes! I always adopt too. All great info!
Thank you Sandra! We love them. Lots of animals who absolutely need homes. 🤗
Just made the leave the bag and grab it on the way back play
during today's walk.
🤣 hope you grabbed it!
We travel with our cat in a class A.. the litter box is a top entry and sits between the steering wheel and driver’s seat when we reach our destination. We tried the shower but we’d have to move it too much to shower. Your babies are precious! ❤
That works to Sherrie! It’s definitely a bit of a hassle moving it for shower but no biggy. Travel safe and thank you for sharing your story!
I drive my hubby crazy- I pick up EVERYONES doggies poop up…. We use a LOT of bags😳🐶🐶🐶
Penny, you deserve a medal for that one! Thank you for watching!
What advice would you give us who are planning full time , maybe if the economy ever gets better? Would you retire early and sell your house and do this all over again? Thx
Hello! Everyone’s journey and situation is so different that I don’t feel qualified to give advice in such a huge life change, but we have no regrets other than we wished we’d of had a Crystal ball that showed us the future and we would have waited to sell our house for a couple of years 😂.
I agree thanks for what you said….I can read between the lines! It is encouraging! The house would you have just held on for the price increases?
@@rtoadontheroad exactly! Could have held on and got a lot more money for it but it’s ok! I imagine we will find a home base again and perhaps a smaller adventure mobile 😉
Great video. So many people don't pick up their fur kids poop. We always have bags. Also on another note, we keep vet records in our car. Where we go our dogs go so it makes life's little stresses a bit easier knowing we have the information. We have a dog that on Christmas day will turn 18. We pull him in a wagon so if one of the three poops, we just put the bag in the wagon until we get back. Stay safe and good blessings.
We do too. I have all his records in a bag that travels with us even on road trips in the car.
Hi Brenda! Thank you! Happy almost birthday to your senior pup! That’s a great idea about the vet records in the car too! I know you must have the best heart after reading this! Take good care 🤗
Can you tell me what breed Gracie is, she's beautiful!!!
Hi Jolene! Gracie is an Italian greyhound! Thank you for watching!
One of your best videos. Great information. I'll be full-time with a cat. Great idea to have vet number handy at each stay. Cute pet tent. Love you guys. You are so relatable and funny. Keep your videos coming. They make my day.
Wow! Thank you so very much! You just made our day! Safe travel wishes headed your way. 🤗
We just had to let our last cat go, but a5 one t8me we had two cats with us in the RV. We ended up using the Breeze pellet system. Got real tire of cat litter being tracked all over the RV. A lot cleaner than clay litter.
Sorry to hear that Michael 💙. We actually used that breeze system in our home at one time and forgot about it. Great advice! Thank you for watching and sharing your story!
😉👍💛
Very informative pet video do’s and don’ts. I don’t RV but I may have a suggestion for the cat people.
I use the breeze litter system by Purina. It is a pellet litter and has a tray for a pad to absorb the cat pee
It is dust free not heavy for owners with dust allergies or back issues
Hi Judy! We actually used that system in our house for awhile! It did work fairly well! Thank you for sharing this for other viewers!
@@TilFurtherNotice Just wondering what you didn’t like about it?
I wish the grid tray holes were a bit smaller to prevent the pellets from getting stuck.🐈
@@judyflynn2493 we just had one cat who didn’t like it so once I found scent free litter just switched back 😉
Great video. We had a tent for our little shih tzu. One time my mom brought her Bichon and put him in there too. Our dog is a good camping dog but moms dog was not trained so when people rode by on a bike my mom's dog took off running so our dog ran too. It was hilarious 🤣 watching the tent run out to the road. They didn't get far but I almost peed myself laughing. I love the couch cover!!! I hate sitting on those nasty fake leather seats. I'm totally heading to your link for those.
Thank you! Laughing at your story! I can just imagine how funny that would have been 😂. Thank you for watching and sharing a laugh with us today!
I love your dog. I would like to get a dog for company when I retire and travel. Maybe I can find an Australian Greyhound except that I’m thinking they are expensive. This is as a great video. Have safe and happy travels.
Hi Polly! Gracie thanks you! Her medical needs are expensive 😉. We love her and she is a great traveler but Italian greyhounds are not for everyone. Thank you for watching!
It bothers us when people do not pick up their dogs poop! We keep poopie bags everywhere and also have had to use a tissue too, not the best but it worked! Gracie & Jasper seem quite happy & satisfied! Our Rusty loves to go, he can ride to mom's (7 hours with stops) and is happy to get right back in the truck to go again! He's a nut!🤣 Safe travels!
Scott will be happy to read he’s not alone Sara 😂. Hello to Rusty from our critters and thank you for sharing and following along!!
We are just starting part time and plan to take our 3 dogs with us. We did a lot of prep ahead of time by having them in the rv, just hanging out, for longer and longer periods. Familiar toys, beds, bowls, blankets etc also really helped. They did awesome on our shakedown trip a month or so ago. We love having them with us but it does take a fair amount of planning and preparation! Thanks for a great video on the topic!
Hello! Sounds like you are doing a great job at introducing them to your rv and preparing them for some adventures! You’ll have a blast! Enjoy and thank you for watching and sharing your stories!
Great info for the pets. We travel with 2 cats and trying to get them to try on a harness ranks up there with trying to give a cat a pill. Once the harness goes on they stop moving and don't go anywhere. We just started and hopefully it will get easier.
Hi Don! It will get easier in my experience! Jasper hated it and now waits at the door and asks to put it on😂. Safe travels and thank you for watching!
Great advise and fun video highlighting your pets. We really enjoy the ability to take our dogs (two Chihuahua’s) with us and they are living their best life’s (and making our adult children jealous!) LOL Safe Travels!
Thank you! I think our make our children jealous too 😂. Hello from our fur kids to yours!!
HEHEHE NO Pets. Way too much work. The sad thing is a LOT of people DO NOT PICK UP. 50% of the people do not show concern about anyone. Some Pet owners are doing a bad service to bring their pets with them. We go to the ocean a lot, and see a lot of pet owners look around to see if anyone saw their pet take a dump, if they think no one is looking they kick sand over it. Sorry for the rant about pets. I have see people leave their dogs alone for over a day, they barked the whole time they were gone. You guys are the exception. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Hi Tim! It would break my heart to hear a dog barking all day and night being left alone! We’ve only heard that on one occasion 😢. Let’s hope there are more good than bad pet owners out there! Thank you for sharing and watching!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
Definitely get the locks with the code access! They are great for those unexpected potty walks. You don't have to run and get the keys or worry about losing your keys. By far our favorite upgrade. It's also very easy to change the code if you need to.
Thanks! Will have to look into that on our next rv!
Soooo, we made a liter box area under the stairs. Our cat crawls through the shoe storage area and once under the stairs it opens up to a full sized liter box with room to move around. I did have to re-configure the stairs some but it works great for us. We have a grand design 310 GK, very similar to your rig. Wish I could post pic🤨
Hi Alan! I’ve heard of others that have done this! You’ve got my wheels turning but I’m not sure we have the space? I’m very familiar with the 310gk as that was top on our pick list for RVs 😉. Safe travels and thank you so much for sharing your story!
