Hi
We are from NZ and collect our 2950RK in July and early next year go fulltime.
Muffin is nearly 9 years old and is not really fussed on the trip to the vet, which is all of 5 minutes away, let alone a new home and truck!
We plan to have her in her cage and take a lots of small trips in the truck and extend these over time, so she becomes used to the back seat when travelling.
Have read to cover the cage when travelling to calm her down. Will try that.
We are lucky that our tempratures are not as extreme as yours in the US, although we will have to watch Summer in the truck if stopping for a while. May need to transfer her to the Unit then as the dual pane glazing will help keep the heat out.
We intend to transfer her to BC by cage every time as do not want to risk losing her.
My questions are:-
Suggestions for location and type of litter box.
The one we have is in our bedroom here at home is just a tray but not used much
as she has free access to the great outdoors.
Harness and Lead - recommedations please.
Have purchased a small dog harness and lead as it appeared easier to use as only one clip and her arms go through and then it clips shut on her back and then the lead can attach from there. But not sure if this is the best option, as not a "cat" one.
She has worn it around the house a few times and is okay with the harness after a while but not the lead... Will have to work on that if she wants to go outside in the future!
Worries - I worry about losing her and her not being happy in the RV.
Big change for all of us, but think Paul and I can cope, but we really want Muffin to enjoy this new adventure too. Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks all, have waffled on enough. Love the forum and all the advice.
Paul is on the forum reading for hours and gleening new information all the time.
Cheers Amanda & Paul
