So we have no problems in a camp ground. We have MDT 4 door truck, he rides in a cage (no seat in the back) in which he can stand up (and see out the window) or lay down (the cage does not block my view out the back window) I have a box on top of cage for water and food for him when we stop at a rest area. In a camp ground he water and food out side and inside of 5er.

The Macaw requires a large cage which is in the place of the chair behind the passenger seat in the MH. He has his water, food, & toys, a view out the windows, but knows that he's safe. He feels secure and so do we. We travel with our birds and they’re caged whenever underway. The Macaw requires a large cage which is in the place of the chair behind the passenger seat in the MH.

Think ahead of what your pet might do. I bought the nice product in the picture above and found the the clip was stong enough to hold my pet when he saw another dog on the street. So back to training since I never thought about that temptation. Becareful of the product you buy. Think ahead of what your pet might do.

A friend of mine recently rolled her car on an Interstate. Fortunately, she did not received life threatening injuries, but was moved by ambulance and helicopter. She was released from the hospital the next day and returned home. When asked by friends if her dog was with her, she replied that he was not, but she had learned an interesting piece of information. Emergency squads are reluctant to enter a vehicle where a dog is not confined as it is the nature of the animal to protect its family. Now whether this is the rule or not, it definitely inhibits immediate attention to the situation. My friendly little dog who supposedly wouldn't harm anyone, got a seat belt harness the very next day! What's more, he loves it beause he knows he's going traveling!
