I travel with 8 dogs- 7 Poms and a Chi. However, before my spinal surgeries, I had Alaskan Malamutes. <br><br>I think- ABSOLUTELY- you can travel with your three hounds. However, they need to be taken into consideration when buying your coach. I started out in an 18' TT and now have a 32' 1990 Itaska Suncruiser Motorhome. She was beautifully cared for and top of the line with nearly every option added. She is still a sweet rig and drives awesome! I love her!!<br><br>She is, though, a basement model- which makes her sit high up. My Poms can run up/down those stairs but would it be too steep for your Bassetts with their short legs and long backs? A Class C would be closer to the ground than the new class A's. Older class A's (80's models) are closer, to the ground, but then you give up all that fantastic basement storage!<br><br>For your interior lay-out, consider them. Where will they sleep? They are good size animals. One good place would be to take out the dinette and put kennels or beds there. If you do not want to lose the storage, put the dinette down, cover the cushions with a twin, water proof, mattress protector then top that with a blanket and their beds. Three dogs would fit fine and you'd keep your storage and the use of it- if you needed to. I have done this with my dinette only I have crates on top and they love to use the "den" under it :)<br><br>Good Luck!<br>Sheila :)<br>www.Inua.usSheila ~ INUA Kennelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763824729121906271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-41521408227759861492011-11-23T00:59:33.779-06:002011-11-23T00:59:33.779-06:00Hi, your Blog was mentioned on "Me & My D...Hi, your Blog was mentioned on "Me & My Dog" so thought that I'd drop by.

I'll have to make time to go look around my college football addiction. :)Bhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480236513721739925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-71825271048687191292011-11-19T17:21:50.335-06:002011-11-19T17:21:50.335-06:00Do you have any local RV places to go & tour t...Do you have any local RV places to go & tour though RV's? I think maybe the more you get to tour, the better of an idea of what appeals to you you'll have. It took me 3 years to decide, but in my case, I was not planning on fulltiming, so I got a small RV for other purposes. Now I need a bigger one. If it's possible, go to a few different places. A co-signment place that sells all types would be the best type of place to go through if there are any in your area. Or maybe take a vacation where there are plenty to tour through? You do lose a lot of overhead the moment you buy a new one, there are plenty of really nice gently used ones out there. But again, I think touring them would be a good idea towards your decisions.TexCynhttp://www.texcynlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
