Pets will contribute to wear and tear on your RV, so take precaution to protect your unit by purchasing some of these items!
Non-Slip Rugs and Mats
Adding rugs to your RV interior will help stop your dogs paws from slipping and sliding on your RV floor. Dog paw wax is another good method to prevent your pooch from slipping inside your RV, but a rug also provides protection for the RV floor itself, as well as catches any dirt and mud that gets tracked in.
Pet Monitoring Camera
If you plan to leave your pet inside your RV for long periods of time, then it might just be a better idea to leave them at home. Leaving pets unattended inside the RV is not advised, and can result in injury to your pet or damage to your RV. If you do have to leave your pet inside alone, always leave a note on the outside of the door telling people how many animals are inside in case of emergency. Purchasing a pet monitoring camera allows you to watch your pet while you are away from them in case of an accident. Some cameras even play music or white noise to dampen noises from outside of the RV, or even dispense treats!
Collapsible Kennel and Outdoor Playpen
Bringing a kennel along is always a good idea. If you leave your dog unattended inside your RV, you may want to put them into a kennel to prevent them from damaging the interior of your RV.
You can also put them in a kennel during the drive for safety. Your pet should never travel in the RV, only in the tow vehicle cab with you. An outdoor playpen is a great way to have your pets relax outside with you while still keeping them close by.
