I am astounded and disillusioned to the sheer number of motorhome owners who don't secure their dogs whilst travelling.

Our dog whether in the car or motorhome is secured with a body harness. If I have to undertake an emergency stop or we crash then my dog is not thrown forward at 50 mph or whatever speed. Obviously some dog owners don't really care about the welfare of their pets.

I often see unsecured dogs in motorhomes at reception and driving around site. Not a problem. Whether theu are secured on the highway I have no idea.

Putting a dog in a harness is pointless unless there is secure anchorage for it.

Our dog always travelled in his bed behind the cab seats with a board across to prevent him coming forward into the cab area. He was too stressed to travel any other way.

I should rephrase that as the dogs are not actually driving around the site thankfully

I would have bought a Motorhome but I didn't want to have to have a dog.
