What a great way to travel with your fur babies without having to worry about pet friendly hotels!

Speaking of - it popped into my head that I want a shipping container house! Like these -

I went looking for an example and found that - had to bookmark it. Container sellers and converters are shilling their wares on their too, ha. I probably could do this ~
The biggest obstacle would be finding a locale that would allow it. Around here? No way.
And then the thought came to me - you could make an RV out of one of these too! Get a Semi truck - haul the container. DIY RV!

I am a RVer wannabe, and not ashamed of it.

Yes, I’ll be doing the upholstery stuff myself. Now that we have the rig, I got a chance to really poke and prod. Unless the RV is a million dollar job, everything is done in a time=$$ fashion, ergo – git ‘er done mode. I noticed that the valances around the windows are merely fabric stapled to frame. Then the whole thing is screwed into the body. Shouldn’t be hard to redo. The back cushions for the dinette are simply sewn around the cushion and zippered. The zipper part might be hard; haven’t done one of those since Home Ec, in high school; but I’ll just take my time. The sofa is going to be replaced by two small recliners, down the line, so I’m not going to bother. But I did give them a good scrub with foamy cleaner to clear out the farts. Heh.
TVs in the bunk beds – one came out, the other is so firmly anchored that Dh was afraid of stripping the screw. Luckily, it is the top bunk, where the cat will likely have her abode. Shouldn’t be a problem. We’re still debating the pet housing issue. I think it’s going to take several trips to decide if we want to add kennels, or let them roam sort of free, cobbling together small gates to confine them to certain sections.

We are not a traditional “family campground†and we are not catering to families and/or campers with kids. We are very upfront about that. Four Paws Kingdom was designed as a safe and enjoyable place for all people who want to camp, play, hike, train or relax with their dogs. We do not advertise or market ourselves as a “Family Campgroundâ€, we always were and still are the first and only dog dedicated campground in the US and that’s what our guests love about us. All of our amenities and activities are specifically geared towards an adult target group. Scheduled events (whether for fun or sports) as well as functions (potlucks, catered dinners, quizzes, seminars, training sessions etc.) are directed towards a mature audience.

I like the puffy blankie on the bed! I need to buy or make a new one myself - that looks like something I might be able to make.

I had heard that Scotchguard had been taken off the market due to dangerous chemicals. I went and looked and it looks like they have reformulated it -

So it is still available? I can't quite tell.

Scotch Guard - thanks for the updates, Zelda and Cassia
I guess I meant it as an adverb: to Scotch Guard (apply fabric protectant). I'll probably look around and see what is the best, whatever it's called.
Note to potential RVers with breathing difficulties: it's a good and bad thing, that our RV seems to be pretty airtight. Less loss of heat and cool air, depending on the temps we want, but RV construction involves formaldehyde and glues AND that's bad for someone with sensitive lungs, like me.
I've got the vents open and the ceiling fan running in the bathroom to pull clean(?) air through
