Bunk Adapted to Dog Crate

[Chorndawg32]

Hey all! New owner here, our “new to us” 2017 Greyhawk 31FS. A quick modification of the bottom bunk into a built-in dog crate for one of the pups. 5 days in & already “personalizing” it to suit our needs. We actually purchased this model/floor plan due to the bunks for the dogs. Yes, they have a pretty good life! Matter of fact, our’s isn’t too bad either! Stay well All!

That's a pretty awesome mod. Nice work!

I removed our couch and installed cabinets for pet supplies and three crates for the cats.

We use the theater seats across from the TV so the couch represented wasted space as installed.

Yes the pets are royalty in the "Critter Cave".

For dogs that are crate trained... how easy does your dog adapt to a different crate?

I’ll let you know. 😁 She loves her crate in the house...She actually hates riding in the truck or Jeep...but we plan on driving her into submission in the RV.

You need some treats for the trip & in my case she needs 74 the limit of 1 a day & I’m still cutting extra just in case we meet on the road. Looks like I’m going to be 1 short

We actually have a specific travel crate for our Corgi, in addition to his "main" crate at home. It took a little training, but he LOVES his travel crate. We don't even have to coax him into it. Most of the time if we leave him "free" in the camper, he goes in his crate anyway. And if he's not in our bed with us at night, he's in his travel crate.

Right now, his little crate "lives" on the couch. It's okay there, but not ideal. It works great for him because we park a little ottoman in front of it so his little short legs can jump up there and he can crawl into his crate. But only one person can sit on the couch. It hasn't been a REAL big problem because we don't typically spend much time inside except if the weather's bad, or we're all asleep. But I'm probably going to have to figure something else out since I plan to ditch the tri-fold couch for recliners...

Seeing the setups with the permanently installed crates makes me VERY jealous. We even looked at a rig with bunks, but passed on it because we didn't want/need that sleeping space. In exchange, we got a bit more counter space, and I think a little bigger shower. But if I had it to do over again, I would definitely consider this as a good reason to get the bunkhouse floorplan!

Hey I know this was years ago but what materials did you use to make this? I am trying to make our bunk into a dog crate and I like how this looks very sturdy!
