We travel with 4 cats, 2 dogs and a cockatiel. One cats is not a good traveler and stays hide most of the time. The others have full range of the motorhome. From dash to bedroom. I sometimes have a dog and cat in my lap at the same time. Only our tomcat wants out when we stop. We can leave the door open and the others are content to look out but hides if a stranger comes into sight. We have a 36ft Monaco and it is our 4th coach. Have always taken our pets and have never had a serious problem.
