Hiya,

Me and my partner are getting a dog soon and can't wait to take him camping with us only thing is we're unsure of where the dog can sleep. Where do other members with dogs put them to sleep.

Many Thanks
Allan

In the foot well , on the front seats , under the bed , on the bed , anywhere that pleases him , our max (rip) even slept in the high top with katy a few nights

On the floor near the sliding door on her blanket,
Bad enough the Mrs taking up all the bed without the dog joining in...

The same as T'Onion not nice when wet!!!!! We got her a travel cage thought it was safer. We also got her one of those thingmebobs that you screw into the ground and attach a long leash to we just make sure she can pop in and out of the van. We took her all round Europe in June she loved it

dont get a lab...bloody stuborn and too big to get off ya bed..me n gail end up squashed to the outer limits of the bed

get a little one for camping with

We're looking at getting a Basset Hound, I've wanted one since i was 10, apparently they are also an extremely stubborn breed so the dog will probably get the bed and i'll be on the floor on his blanket

they like their creature comforts these campervan dogs

We have 2 springers they both sleep under the rock and roll bed on a dog pad.
When traveling they are in the back above the engine and behide a cargo net.
For when on site I have made up to long leads out of buggy that clips onto the rear jacking point with a climbing thing.

Our Sam has his bed (one of those fur-covered foam beds) on the floor in front of the sliding door, but he jumps up with us more often than not.

Having an awning is very handy, especially in the wet weather, so you can towel them off, wipe paws, etc., and we also put his food/water down in the awning. We also have one of those screw-in thingys that we attach him to, so he can lie outside or in his bed, which we move into the awning in the day.

Down in the passenger footwell is where my lad weller used to sleep (rip). He used to love it there as it was his bit of space. He was def a campervan doggy

just one thing hasn't the law change resonantly re dogs travelling in vehicles ? i heard / read that they need to be belted in ?

A friend has one of them doggy seat belts for when his pooch is travelling on the back seat in his car. looks a good idea.

we have 2 rather large lurchers & both of their beds (just about) fit on the floor between the R&R bed & the cab area ........we have to put fleecy coats on them though cos they have very thin fur & get cold (they're both wuss's)

as I said, we can fit both of their beds on the floor but the dogs inevitably end up squished with us on the bed.............nearly 12 stone of dog

Get a little un & pop it in the cupboard (joke!!!)

im going to have to sort some sort of restraint out for our jack then coz he thinks its a race track in there

we went to the peak district last weekend with some friends who were camping, the're staffy was terrified of the biblical rain, so he ended up in the van with us, as well as our two spaniel/staff cross. me, mrs wm, and three wet restless dogs, it was not a restfull night sleep
