Bonus: 3 Tips for Living Life in an RV with a Pet
1. Prioritize Climate Control
Dogs don’t sweat like humans, so temperature management is critical. Always make sure your RV stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter — especially if you ever leave your pup alone inside. Invest in vent fans, blackout shades, and a temperature monitor that alerts your phone if things get too hot or cold.
2. Make Exercise Non-Negotiable
Campground walks are great, but most dogs need more than a few laps around the RV park. Plan daily outings like hikes, beach runs, or dog-friendly town strolls. It keeps your dog healthy and helps burn off excess energy, which means less chaos back inside the RV.
3. Stock a Dedicated Go-Bag
Keep a small, always-ready bag with your pet’s essentials: leash, waste bags, water bowl, treats, vaccination records, and any meds. Whether you’re heading out for a long hike or evacuating in bad weather, having this gear prepped saves time and keeps your furry co-pilot safe.
