Camping with Pets

QUESTION: Can I Vanabode with my cat? I am single.

MY ANSWER: See some of my traveling with an animal pictures and facts - follow the links that interest you. This is when we started out with our Bugsy the rabbit in the motorhome. Same fun in the van only smaller. Since rabbits like to hole up in small cubby holes anyway naturally, we don't think he ever got uncomfortable. He Vanabode camped wth us for the last 3 years (previous 7 in a motorhome) and traveled over 70,000 miles total.

Note that some national parks do not allow animals entry. Some remote places could be dangerous if you leave your animal in the van while you go hiking or walk somewhere because bears are tempted to break in for any kind of food they can smell.

I would highly recommend you simply just try it. See what problems you run in to, address the litter box issues, smells, room, and the over all happiness of the pet. Then make your final decision on whether it makes sense for you or not.

QUESTION: where did your beloved Bugsy hang out when you were out and about, especially in hotter weather? I know you couldn't take him everywhere.

MY ANSWER: we had a small wire cage with door kept open in both the RV (where we started out) and the van (where we ended up) for him. He went in and out whenever he pleased, we took him to all the parks and took him out whenever we stopped off grid. The power vent on the roof was left on for him if we were going hiking and the temperature would be above 70 degrees otherwise we dont like heat any more than the does so we would travel north or up to higher elevations when it was too hot.
