Hi,

We've still not purchased our MH, giving it plenty of thought, but are borrowing a freinds for a weekend - any advice on the best way to travel with a dog? She's well behaved but not sure I'd be able to get her to stay on her bed.

Do others let them wander around? Is this legal ? Kids will be sat in the back with her so she might stay put but I'm not sure.

 She's a medium sized, collie cross/beagle?

Thanks

Hi..

Any "legalities" aside, at the very least I'd be using a decent padded harness, securely tethered, rear of the cab..eg around a rear seat belt anchor point or table/furniture fixing?

Some dog owners do indeed just let them wander and/or settle where they want to...but on once having to hit the brakes at a modest 40mph-ish, resulting in a rucksack skidding down the van and slamming into the back of my cab seat..I'd hate to think what it would've done to a dog! 

More importantly, the kids WILL be in seat belts and not just sitting on habitation/lounge seats?...
