Dog Box for tow bar Forums

Woh up guys........my intention is not to let the dogs travel in the box.....it is purely for sleeping arrangements for them.....particularly when they are wet and smelly

I fully agree with your sentiments regarding the safety considerations of a rear impact

Why not hook the lead over the tow ball? The dog will probably die anyway! Shocked

We have 2 cages, a canvas collapsible one my springer travels (inside) when on the move, and a collapsible metal one, which we transport on the cycle rack, for when he is dirty and wet (outside) which is very often with a springer.
My wife made a water proof cover for it out of a old patio tarpaulin and a big soft washable cushion for him to lie on, it's his home from home.

These are very popular with the "real" working gundog community, especially with the professional trainers who work and display many dogs.

Many atime in France I have seen a small tent erected by a caravan/MH for a dog to sleep in and for shade in the day time.

I have shone this to Charlie, however like me he does'nt do canvas.

Here are Rosie and Jack in their crate in the garage of our van. The crate has a removable divider and each side has a door out the rear of the van. On the forward side of the crate there's a door into the interior of the van and they can easily fit either side of the divider to go in and out. The space above the crate usually holds a folded metal puppy pen, grooming trolley and two folding loungers, plus our 'show' bag etc.
The centre of the worktop is removable for tall, thin loads and there's a half height wardrobe above the nearside and a hot and cold extending shower head in the white box on the offside van wall.
I still can't figure out why manufacturers insist on fitting a fixed bulkhead between garage and van interior. It gives much more flexibility to the customer if they can get into the garage from inside, including the ability to have a dog crate. As usual you have to watch out for ventlation and heat, but in our case, when parked, as you can see, we can open the whole liftback door for air.
