Is it safe to have a dog travel, crated with crate bolted down, in a fifth wheel that is being towed?

I have a friend who travels that way with his dog. The cage is not bolted down, but up front against the cabinets. His dog is a real pain in the truck, yapping and jumping around, so he is there just to keep him out of their hair on the road. My dogs have always traveled with me in the truck. Max, my bull mastiff, was a 100,000 mile dog, but he filled the back seat..The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

Be very careful where you run your bolts...... snagging a water-line, electrical wiring or waste pipe could be expensive to locate / access / repair.Travel Blog: www.rocklinroamers.wordpress.com

What we may do is tie the crate to a heavy piece of furniture or wedge it between two solid thingsComment

There are some YouTube videos out there where some have put a video camera operating during travel. One I know of was a few years ago on the channel for Big Truck Big RV.Rolland & Judie, 1 Sheltie, Brinkley

My DW would have a stroke...heh. I built an "L" shaped plywood contraption for the back seat of our truck. Takes up about 2/3 rds of the seat. Lined with blue foam sleeping pad stuff to give them some traction. The two dogs have traveled well over 50,000 miles in that. I suggested putting them in the bed of the truck under the topper but that idea got the icy stare with shrieks treatment too. Whatever you do do not put them in a crate on top of the truck if you ever contemplate running for office..James and Cindy Kramer
