• Cool love the step stool and I’ll have to try this!

• this is my first year living in Texas. In Colorado I and my husky lived in my SUV. I have bought a condo in Dallas area. However, I don’t like it here. I can’t move back to Colorado. I am planning to buy a small trailer to live in RV park in other parts of Texas.
  If anyone has experience living in hot weather in the Summer, please give me some tips. I don’t know whether it would be too hot in a trailer in the Summer? Can I run the aircon 24/7 with 30amp hook-up?

• What is the rabbit hutch for that's in the pen? We have the same one that we use for 2 of our Chihuahuas, they love it. How do you take that with you?

• I have a hybrid camper. Because of the tent beds you can easily hear outside noises. That has become an issue with my little miniature pinscher. I'm thinking about getting a white noise machine to see if it blocks outside noises. I'd love any other suggestions. If Dory hears an owl, or God forbid a trash panda, she shakes for an hour!

• Thanks much for the tips! Thought we would share that we bought a marcell pro unit a few months ago and love it! Basically you set it up and it sends you a phone call or text message when your RV gets above a certain temperature you determine. It also alerts you when you loose power if you are running on a generator. They got amazing reviews on Amazon and decided to get their more commercial grade – "PRO" unit as its more accurate and it includes the ability to go online with your phone and check the current conditions whenever you want. website is marcellpro.com

• Great Video and tips! We started full time RV a few months ago with our dogs. It wouldn't be the same without them. We just uploaded a road trip with them. You can watch it if you would like:

• I'm single with 3 dogs and it's a pain in the butt ! We're in car training mode right now. Loading and unloading. That does include lifting and tying the ones that are out to the rims of the tires..bahaha.. IT'S A CIRCUS !!!!!!! That includes being covered in fur and poo on my arm !
  That's 3 different personalities. 3 different sizes and 1 of them can't keep up with the other 2 due to age..So it's very difficult by myself. I'm trying to work out all the kinks and to get a system down. If all goes well. Then I'm going to convert a small cargo trailer into a camper..BUT FIRST,gotta get this dog thing under control. Safety for them is absolute priority ! One day i'm gun-how about hitting the road. The next day I feel like an idiot even thinking about it..It is stressful !!!!
  Bawling my eyes out at mile marker (?) and pissed by mile marker (?)..I'll be known as the Bi-Polar traveler :-)=

• Liked, commented and subscribed! My husband and I, and our 3 very large dogs are about to head out into the wonderful world of full-time RVing… so all these tips are MOST appreciated! I will be following with great interesting.

• Is Remi an English Springer Spaniel ? I have a female 45 pounds Springer wanting to get a soft side kennel, too. What size?

• I was able to relate to everything you said 🙂

• The Joker (pure bread mutt) will be going with us every where we go. Mostly because she is the only "child" still at home, but also because she is a rather large dog and a rather good protector. If nothing else she sill lick the intruder to death while we escape…

• great video! do you think i could rv with a more active crazy dog like my labrador just asking cuz your dogs seem more calm?

• Love your dogs!!! Good video!!!! Thanks!!!

• absolutely great advice about traveling with dogs… I'll be buying the water dish and foldable kennel from your link payday….

• Sweet dogs! Old dogs are one of the best kept secrets… Joyful… Thanks for all of the great info!

• Hi Ben and Becka!
  Just over 1 month ago we started travelling full time in our RV as a means of moving from WASHINGTON to Texas. We are traveling with 2 cats and 3 dogs in a 28 foot class A. We are still working things out as to storage and sleeping arrangements. One of out dogs is a 165lb Great Dane. Out rig has 2 twin beds and let me tell you that there is NO room when a Great Dane climbs into bed with you. I have been watching you channel since the start of you last trip. Too bad things didn't work out for the stop in Belfair, WA. Currently we are visiting our granddaughters in NC.

• Thank you for sharing… I travel with four dogs! You hit all the important items. We switched from a class A to a class C because we have a dog that could not manage the stairs… Bad hips

• It comes to mind what I used to tell K9 folks before I retired, "If those two grow thumbs Ben and Rebecca you are in deep trouble" you guys will no longer be needed to get the chow and drive the MH.

• Good information thanks

• good video you got it nice set up for your dogs

• You know we travel with our large dogs and have no problems at all. We seldom bundock because we are sissies so the air is always on. We do not need kennels but we do have beds that fit on the floor next to us. They are inconvenient to step over in the night but with flashlights we manage.

• I admire people that are able … and willing to travel with their pets. BUT … I have decided for me it is not practicable or convenient. I have watched my sister and brother-in-law with their three golden retrievers and some of the challenges they face when travelling. Just not for me. I'm not sure how many more years I will be able to travel … hopeful a few more (quite a few actually) and it's just not something I want to deal with.

  I do love animals … and had pets most of my childhood and adult life. But, as I tell my daughter every time she raises that issue of me getting a pet … Not now … it's MY TIME.

  Good tips and suggestion however for those travel with their pets.

• Good tips
