Just wondering if there are any other folks out there traveling the US with the family. We have a 14 yo dd and a 12 yo ds and three dogs, two bostons and one great pit.

What do you do with your dogs when you travel? We are planning on stopping at a "home base" for a couple of days and then traveling in the truck to the various spots, i.e national parks, zoos, museums, etc. Not sure I want to make the dogs to stay in the 5th wheel when we are gone. Any ideas?
I'm sure you'll be hearing more from me, lots of questions...
Thanks for any advice you can give.
