@lvoss:
I see it all the time. Maybe Pat has a picture of what her RV when she had it looked like. Crates for all the dogs well secured.
I will look and see if I can find one…(picture, I know I have one of Mickii stealing the silverware out of the sink!) but if you ever go to dog shows, you will find hundreds of RV's all complete with crates for the dogs... And yes mine were secured, we had taken out the bench seat, put down plywood and bolted the crates down.
Also I too have seen many people in RV without their pets restrained... I think it is a bad idea...
As far as AJ goes... I can certainly understand that the situation of being on the road is different then most people that transport their pets... and I can understand if he doesn't want to crate him... AJ certainly looks totally well cared for and loved... my only point was there are ways (as someone posted a great link) of having him uncrated but still with some restraint in case of an accident
