  Both my wife and I have lived just about all our lives with pets. We now have two rescue dogs a shih tzu 15 lbs. from my mother who no longer able to care for and a terrier mix 33 lbs. from the local animal shelter. They both love to travel and they travel with us in our camper or if we are not towing the camper. It would be too quiet without them they make great watch dogs. We use to have shelties they were the greatest pets we ever had very loyal companions but not the best to take camping, shelties love to bark.

We take our girls camping all the time.
Izzy, a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie).  Very assertive, alpha female but loving on her terms.
Zoe Joy, a Yorkie we rescued from a puppy mill.  She's very loving and wants to be with people which is surprising given the life she started with.

My wife has asthma. She was told once by her pulmonologist that she could have a pet or she could breathe. She chose breathing (for which I am also appreciative). We do travel with a small, stuffed polar bear. It was one we bought last year on our Alaska cruise and given to her late father who had said, "Watch out for polar bears" when we said we would be going to Alaska. After he passed away, the bear came home with us and now rides in our R-Pod.

We enjoy meeting other people's pets for some fuzz-therapy when we have the opportunity.

Where we live, outdoor pets are food for the wildlife.  Coyotes are especially fond of cats and small dogs.  Apparently, they're delicious.  And the coyotes and snakes keep the rodent population well controlled.

We also prefer not to have our house or Pod full of pet dander and hair, thus have no pets except a big toy stuffed golden retriever.  Though I'd love to have a couple dogs [as I've had for most of my life] we travel out of the country from time to time for weeks at a time and I cannot bring myself to leave them in a kennel.  For me, unless you have working dogs on a ranch or something, dogs are part of he family [the pack] and you have to include them in pretty much everything.  Many lifestyles don't allow that to happen.

We travel with our three cats. They're not happy with the traveling, but they settle down nicely once we're camped. They stay in our 179 at all times; we installed a gate across the entrance to discourage them from trying to get out and they're indoor cats anyway. One likes to hang out behind our futon and the other two often lie on the shelf we installed over the bed.

At home, we have always had cats, OUTDOOR only, great for keeping the mouse, rabbit, squirrel population down.  Never indoors, don't want to mess with the fur/hair, nor would the allergies welcome it either.  Camping, we leave the cats home, they can take care of themselves, something dogs can't do.

We picked up our used 2015 RP179 in Sept. 2018 on the S. OR coast. took 4 days returning to NE OR with our two dogters, a 5 yr. old puggle and a 6 yr. old Inca/Chihuahua. They adapted faster than we did, coming from a 30' TT, but all of us really like the pod.

Just got our 183g (first Pod ever) Sunday, so we have not taken the maiden voyage yet, but plan to share our space with 100 pound Yellow Lab who thinks he is a child. It will be interesting!! He went with us to pick it out - spoiled pup indeed.

We adopted the sweetest cat, Nevelle, while in NM a few months ago. He is a terrific travel and camping companion. Also he is leash trained. He's a love!!
