Join the fun as we share what's it's like to live, work, and play full-time in an RV with four cats and a dog.
We're Jacqui Letran and Joseph Wolfgram.
On March 9, 2019, we loaded our five furbabies and the remainder of our possessions into our 34’ motorhome and started our journey of full-time living on the open road.
Although we were living the American dream - with high-paying executive careers, beautiful homes, and nice cars, we wanted something more. That something is the freedom to spend our time doing what we want to do, and to live life with passion and purpose on our own terms.
Join the fun as we show you how we navigate the adventures of "living big" in a tiny space with our 4 cats and a dog. Hit the subscribe button and the bell so you won’t miss a single episode.
With love,
Joseph, Jacqui and the Bernice RV Gang (Captain Orange, Baby Cow, McAllister, Jacques, and Frosty)
I was a nomad for 9 months. It was warm 99% from FL-CA. I had to protect my cat, so my windows were always 1/2 way down whenever I went to the Library, Store, Laundromat, Gym, Restaurant, Beach, Church or someone's house. I'm really surprised that I was never broken into, but I never want to forget why pet lovers can go to jail bec of a hot car.😢 ~I've lived in an apt for 2yrs=$30K, so I'm getting ready to move out. I want to get a van and have a 5x5 hole cut into the floor and weld a 15x15x5 cage underneath, so that she'll have shelter from the sun/rain, a nice 4 way Breeze, and get to people-watch, but then still be able to jump back up into the van if something like a dog scares her. The grate of the cage needs to be about 1/8", so that a rodent can't crawl up inside, so maybe I'll wrap it with screen too to make it even more stealthy! The pavement will be hot, so I'll line the bottom with a cat bed.
Quick question, will the cardio affect humidity/hot weather for the trailer. I’m worried that if I make a catio it’ll increase humidity and I don’t want that
I hust found your channel and this is amazing. I wanted to find something to help my catsv(3) to be apart of the oitside experience without them escaping or being afraid to venture outside. This is a stress free way for them to control when they go out. ❤ Thank you for this. I am going to do this for my Class C.
Really cool-we have 5 cats and 2 dogs; I'm trying to figure out if I can do this for long trips. Have you ever tried putting Plasticoat on the hooks to help protect the RV from scratches?
I got this today and put it together, by myself, because I am just that way. Easy peasy. Question: what are the little clips for? I bought them but I don't know how I am supposed to use them, although I bet there are plenty of uses! Thank you so much. My cat played in it inside the house - well, OK there were treats involved. :) But she didn't run screaming from the room, which is what I was afraid of. Thank you!
Awww, I love this!!! The clip were to hold the foam board in place. It's been over a year since we RV'd so the RV catio is a distant but loving memory for me. <3
This is brilliant. I've been looking and not finding something that would work for me and my one amazing little cat who LOVES being outdoors. The best I have done so far is a playpen and a 15 foot leash with a really great harness. This deal is going to change lives. Thank you so much for sharing and all the great detail! I'm all over it!
don't suppose you guys have the details for how to build this? used your link for amazon.. very cool idea. I will be traveling with 4 cats so this is very helpful
I have two dogs and three cats 🥴 I’m struggling with keeping a job due to mental health issues. I own my home and would sell it and buy an RV if I knew I could stay parked somewhere with my pets without violating any laws or rules
I had a 32 ft Motor home and I took out the laundry door where clothes went into a basket in the basement. Well I had two cats which meant two boxes and put them in the laundry spot. The cats appeared to love it. Then each night I would close the bedroom door n go out n clean the box. It worked great.
Wow, this is such a clever and innovative solution to the kitty litter box problem! Living in a small space with four cats can definitely pose some challenges, but you've managed to address them all brilliantly. I love how you've created a custom cat cafe, complete with different levels and compartments, to keep the litter box out of sight and provide a comfortable space for your furry friends. Thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring others to find creative solutions for their own RV adventures with pets. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more episodes from your channel! 👍🐾
Love this great catio and all your tips! My daughter and son-in law got a portable dog fence when they had their RV, and had the awning rail ... I've been looking at designs for my kitty on our Ohana - and can see incorporating some of these ideas ❤ 🎉 🐈
😺 Looking for a shot of the catio entrance from the inside? There is a VERY quick shot when the cat goes inside. The entrance/exit is above the arm of the chair. If you look to the right it looks like they have padding for scratching on, too.
I hate the idea of road trips without kitties, but I would always worry about leaving them in camper too. Debating if it would be best for us to do this, or shorter trips and leave them with sitter.
