Does your pet ride in a pet taxi while the coach is moving or do they have run of the coach?

Both of our cats have the run of the coach while we travel.

Both our cats have the run of the MH. The older one likes to ride under the table, and the younger one like to ride on the shelf behind the sofa.

Ditto ...which is why she normally rides on the couch rather than in the shotgun seat.

My 100lbs German Shepherd usually rides right in between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. If he's not there, he's on the step cover slide. He loves the space and view out of the front window. He actually thinks we bought the motorhome to be his doghouse. If I'm working in and around the MH, he's invariably inside in his "spot" and has, on many occasion, refused to come out when I'm done and want to lock up!

Two cats here too. Young one rides under the dinette and rarely comes out....the older one rides in between my seat and the heel of my right foot. I guess she feels safe by me. When we blew a front tire, I never saw anything move so fast from the front to the back of the coach though.....

Our Springer rides under my wifes feet in the passenger area or up on the seat with her. The Dolphin LX offered an extrawide passenger seat which we opted for. He weighs 54 pounds-----our previous dog weighed 13 pounds and did the same thing---big difference.

My two dogs ride loose in the motorhome. Sammy sits in the shotgun seat while Jaymie is right behing him, on the sofa where she can see out. When she was little, Jaymie rode in her crate but she got out mid-trip one time and hasn't gone back. They are both about 25 lbs. and excellent travelers.

Good Sena has the run of the house, and divides her time between sleeping on our bed, and looking out the windows. If she sees something special she will run to other windows to get more watching time.

Naughty Sena has a cage up in the cab-over. That mattress is in storage and outdoor carpet has been cut to fit the space so the woodwork is protected. She is quickly learning the benefits of good behavior.

Sam rides on the couch behind me and when we have a long day on the road, he will sit up and put his snout on my shoulder for some conversation. Sometimes he will curl up in the rocker behind the shotgun seat.

The "buds" hops on the couch behind the drivers seat and usually stays ther until we stop for gas, lunch, etc. He mostly sleeps while we travel.

After I die I want to come back as an RV pet. They really have the good life.
