Whether you’re thinking about renting a pet friendly motorhome for a family vacation, or considering buying an RV to make traveling with your furry family members easier, rest assured you won’t be alone. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association‘s spring survey (completed in April), 61% of RV owners travel with pets!
There’s nothing better for pet friendly trips than a vehicle that provides all the comforts of home, but comes on wheels. One of the primary benefits of RV travel is that your pets can enjoy the great outdoors all day, but always sleep in the same space at night. This consistency allows dogs and cats to become familiar with their new environment, develop a routine, and accept the RV as another “home.” Of course, there’s also something to be said for storage compartments where you can stow all your pet’s necessities, and conveniences, like outdoor showers, to keep pet messes to a minimum.
But traveling by RV can also present some unique challenges in caring for your pets. After years of traveling with Ty and Buster in our motorhome, we’ve picked up a few tricks for keeping pets safe and happy along the way.
