We sold our caravan this year privately after 5 years of use.  Never smelt of dog!   I am very fussy about dog smell/hair (hence this post!!).  I think it can be overcome, I always keep the van well ventilated on and after trips, use air freshener etc etc.

I think the worst thing for smells is carpet and upholstery, which is why I have only wood or ceramic flooring at home and cover all my upholstery.  Like someone mentioned - leather is better (like my sofa at home), but we couldn't afford the motorhome with the leather interior.

We have 2 labradoodles - who ever says they do not malt is definately mistaken. !!

We find when you stop travelling and open the door, great plumes of dog fur waft out like tumble weed - especailly when traveliing to hot climates

LOL.  I can relate to the tumbleweeds.

Do they really moult then?  (labradoodles?)  I was always told they didn't.

I agree Feeblecat!!

I would say it's a huge majority that DO have pets with them in their campers/motorhomes/caravans.  We haven't been abroad since 1996 when we got married as we've owned dogs every since and I will not put them in kennels.  What better way to enjoy owning a dog than to take them away all over the UK with you on holiday.

If the Palomino smelt of dog why did you buy it?

One of the main reasons for buying our motorhome was so we could take our little dog with us.She is one of the family and wouldn't dream of leaving her at home.

Everybody to their own I say.
