Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I was told that people and pets can stay in the 5er while you're driving down the road as long as their is a 2 way camera and communication??? Has anyone heard of this and agree with this??

Some states allow a person to ride in the back of a fiver, some don't. I don't think any states restrict animal travel, as there are livestock trailers and hors trailers designed specifically for this purpose. But I think it is a bad idea for people to do so, even if allowed. All I can envision when I think of this is Lucille Ball in The Long, Long Trailer.

Here's a state-by-state guide: www.rvtripwizard.com/rv-info/state-road-laws.html

It might be legal, but no way would I put a person or my dog in the fiver going down the road. Sudden stop, big bump, quick turn, etc., a person is going to go flying as no seat belts or safety equipment. An animal would have to be in a kennel and I am sure that would be a scary experience for them as they went bouncing down the road. Not counting the heat in the rig in the summer. I know people do it, but no way I would consider it.

 We're with you travlingman!   We would never do it with our pets either because of some reasons you mentioned.  Just not right!
