    We’ve been traveling and living full time in our Solitude 375RES for nearly a year now with our three yellow labs. They weigh in at about 80 pounds each and are great travelers. I wouldn’t ever tow with the dogs in the trailer. It’s just too risky for the dogs and may be illegal in some states. Ours ride in the truck with us.

    Sure glad you asked the group. A little disappointed you were thinking about it...

    Absolutely not a good idea!! We travel with three big dogs in the back seat of a crew cab Silverado. My suggestion would be put one child on one side and one in the middle, get a piece of plywood and cut to fit on the remaining part of the seat so it fits from the back of the rear seat and up against the back of the front seat. Attach 2 legs to the floor so it doesn’t tip and put a dog bed on it. Everyone will fit fine. Happy kids and the dog can still get air from vents or open window.
    I did this for my whole back seat to give my 3 dogs space. Works perfect and was cheap money.
    Good luck and safe travels

    We have an Imagine by Grand Design, 28’. We solved the problem of transporting 3 LARGE dogs using a camper shell, bed rug, a 3” full size mattress topper and replaced the window in our truck with a slider. The dogs loved our trip to Ventura. A little pricey but worth the investment.

    I've seen hunter's do the same thing with their hunting dog's. Have a cap with sliding windows to leave open for air and the dogs then ride in the bed of the truck.

    We have two 40 lb Portuguese Water Dogs that travel with us in the back seat of our truck. We harness them in and they are kept very comfy temp wise and we know they are safe. It is the best way for you pets to travel

    The OP states that he has a crew cab pickup. Most crew cabs have a 60/40 folding rear seat. Use the 60 section to seat the kids, and fold up the 40 section to have a place for the dog to ride.

    my thoughts as well....
