WHAT DO YA THINK
 
We have the same problem, we have a big German Shepard who always comes with us,we have adapted a cage on the bottom bunk for him, my only concern with your rear cage is that if you were involved in a rear shunt in a RTA, the cage may not protect your dog, just a thought, but yeah nice job.

Hi Ian
Looks a great job there.very well set up.A bit worried about fumes pulling up behind van,also possible rear end bumps.

We have the same problem, our dog Rex is in a permanent state of shedding hair.We carry him in a open cage in the back of the estate car to avoid the problem.
However I would not carry him outside like that, so he travels on the floor of the motorhome using his own blanket on the floor. We have no problem with the hair as it disappears with the daily sweep out of the van.
Happy camping

the fumes wouldn't be near the back as the exhaust pipe exits at the drivers door direction.
 
mh with dog sorted

i hope to god, iff, i ever come back in another life as a dog, you and yer missus wont be my owners.......have a nice life.....ditto.
 
If I had a missus that couldn't cope with a few hairs in the van I would leave her at home or get a divorce:D
I've got two border collies and they shed enough hair to make a new dog each week but I would never treat them like that - dog ownership is about caring for your dogs not treating them as something to be shoved out of the way.

what do you meen treat him like that.
for your information my dogs are very well looked after.
when we go away he actualy jumps up into his box wanting to go.
he has room to stand up turn round and lye down comfortably

thankyou very much
 
subject of pets soon whip up passionate responses dont they,but afraid i have to agree with others; there is considerable risk to your dog with that set up, i have been rear ended twice in my time; and what if the dog becomes ill; or desperate to pee; or worse. a handheld vacuum cleaner whipped over the seats would sort the hair problem. i cant imagine him being worse that our dog for hair we put it out in the garden for birds to nest with; we live next to a nature reserve so have lots of customers

hi james pond
my dog is at no more risk than any dog inside of MH espessially if the dog inside is not restrained in some way,which if not is acctuly illegal as if you have to brake in emergency or collide with someone/something youre dog will head straight for you and possibly through the windscrean.
the dog box on the reare of my MH is up high enough that a car would not hit it if reare shunted,a van or lorry would hit it yes,but no different than putting a dog into reare of an estate car.
if you woried about having an accident every time you went out you might as well throw your license in the fire and sit at home.
 
Nobody can understand the amounts of hair a Husky sheds unless they have had one.. No other Dog sheds like a Husky.
I don't like the idea of the box but i'm sure the Dog would love all the fresh air and smells.
I like to be able to keep an eye on my monster in the back but he's correct in an accident he could possibly fly from back to front at a great rate of Knots.
I wouldn't keep my Dog on the back but it's not my Dog.

thankyou BedfordMJ.

everybody man or dog is used to what they know.
my dog is a working dog .he does not stay in the house as he does not stay in the MH. he has not been in that enviroment so he does not miss it.if i did put him in MH he would be sick[as a dog]due to seeing every thing flying past him and rolling about.that is what happend when i took him to the forest park in the back of my jeep,i now take him in the back of transit van which is closed in and hes fine.

Its clear that Ianmorgan cares for his dog, as an ex dog handler I transported my dogs in a dog van, they slept in kennels outdoors, now some people would say it was cruel to keep dogs outside, but the dogs were happy and healthy, at the end of the day a dog is animal not a baby, I'm sure Ianmorgan husky will be as happy in his cage.

Zero was stolen once. I never keep him outside now but given the choice he does prefer to be outside.
It's nice for him to go away and when parked up I fasten him on the tow hook of the Bedford, he's really happy outside.
Of course he loves to be in front of a warm fire but he's a Husky and he's made for the cold.
I do have problems getting him inside when he has been out, he's just happier outside.
I do make him come inside at night though despite gnashing of teeth grumbling and whining of the Dog equivalent of it's not fair.
The back box i'm sure the Dog would love - doesn't feel right for me but i'm sure it would be full of fresh air and random smells. Would have to be really secure for a Husky though.
 
Poor dog

Ive seen it all now ! I wouldnt dream of carrying my Spaniel like this. His position is in the van with us wether he is wet, muddy or moulting. you can always Clean the van after !!
 
dog box

I GIVE UP

YOU WOULD THINK TO HEAR SOME OF YOU I WAS PUTTING A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD IN THE DOG BOX

AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE HE IS A WORKING DOG AND KNOWS NO OTHER WAY OF TRAVELING AND SO IS VERY HAPPY WITH DOG BOX.

HE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE CHILD. BY THE SOUND OF SOME POSTS YOURS IS.

we used to have a german shep and he always sat with us upfront, there is no legal requirement for an animal to be restrained in a veihcle (as yet). me personaly would not have put him in a box at the rear of the van but it is up to the individual to decide right or wrong . as for getting the van a little dirty inside i think that if anyone looks at there leisure vehicle that way is a little sad or suffering from o.c.d it is there to be enjoyed and used . personaly all motor homes if hit up the rear hard enough by even a transit van will disintegrate rendering the occupants inside the rear animal or human either playing a harp or loading a furnace with a shovel :D depends who gets you first if that is a worry then maybe a ex mod tank will convert to a camper very safe :D:D
