No, but me and my wife think to have a pet and we were looking for the decision how to prevent these situations]]> Sun, 03 Jul 2022 21:28:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14966&PID=148778#148778 Camping with pets : Pet screening http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14966&PID=147708#147708 Author: john in idaho

I have re-inserted the screen in a window that one of the dogs pushed out.  The answer to your question is yes, but......   The screens were placed before the window was attached to the trailer body.  So clearance and maneuvering room will be a problem.  A blunt pointed bamboo shish kabob stick and a popsicle stick helped a lot.]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2022 09:44:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14966&PID=147708#147708 Camping with pets : Pet screening http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14966&PID=145440#145440 Author: TheBum

Has anyone replaced the screen material in their window screens with pet screening such as this?

I'm thinking ahead to when (not if) one or more of my screens get torn up by my cats attempting to claw through them. Are the rubber beads on the R-Pod screens pretty standard, i.e. will a generic screen replacement kit work with them?

Kiki's got some cool markings. Looks like a hunter and reminds me of our Henry (rip).

Do you use the same box in your TV?

Fred,

No picture of it but I use a fully covered box on the back seat floor of the truck.  Keeps the odor down.  The seats are all covered to keep the litter crumb clean up to a minimum.  She loves to travel and even snoozes in the Pod when it's in the driveway.

My 190 had storage under the dining seat which is located conveniently next to the front door and outside access:


I simply added a cat door under the table:



Then put the litter box right next to the cabinet door for easy access to empty:


If the weather is bad I use this door, but it is more convenient to use the outside door for emptying.




Kiki loves the set up:

That probably wouldn't work for me.

  I read a mans forum that he has who lives full time in a camper with two cats. He built a cage that attaches to the outside of his camper window. Maybe something like that may be helpful of course it would not work while traveling. simplelivingandsimpletravel.com is his website he once showed a picture of it.]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2021 12:19:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14725&PID=143352#143352 Camping with pets : Suggestion for litter box location in an RP-196 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14725&PID=143340#143340 Author: TheBum

I'll check that out.

I wish my cats were that calm. Our three once forced their way out of a soft-sided carrier and were walking all over the dashboard, which made driving difficult. Fortunately, we were close to a farm supply store and were able to find crates to keep them in for the rest of the trip. They now reluctantly ride in a spacious crate I call the "traveling suite" with a huge homemade cat bed and a segmented-off litter box area.]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2021 11:10:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14725&PID=143340#143340 Camping with pets : Suggestion for litter box location in an RP-196 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14725&PID=143325#143325 Author: fwunder

Alan,

One of the first mods we did in our 178 was cat head (head as in litter box space). See pics in my signature link. It was in "the bedroom" and essentially under the bunk. We have traveled 10's of thousands of miles; first with Henry the camping cat and now with Theo the extraordinary camping cat. It has worked wonderfully. I must say that my wife is amazing @ litter box duty. Odor has never been an issue.

Anecdotally, we carry a separate lidded litter box in the back of our TV. Henry was and Theo is a great traveling cat. Theo rarely uses the box while in TV and she is strangely almost odorless . Henry was not shy at all about using it and, yes, there was a time or two we had to pull off the side of the road, clean the box, open the windows and wonder what the hell he ate!! I sorta admired that.
