    Barrier to prevent dog from getting under the RV

    I'm looking for an inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to store solution to prevent the dog from escaping the campsite by going under the RV. I have Yaheetech fencing but I would rather not run it along the RV.

    We use shorter fencing near the trailer with plastic posts we wrap any part near the trailer with pool noodles also cover the fencing with shade cloth to keep the dogs from watching the neighbors

    Not sure how big your dog is, but under the trailer tends to keep smaller dogs safer from hawks, owls etc.

    Have 40" fencing with 24" fencing along the bottom of the RV. Use these foam protector balls along the RV.

    I was thinking of hanging something along the base of the RV that go to the ground, and is simple and lightweight rather than run my fencing along the RV. Also, I would not need to bring all the fence. We have a french bulldog that likes to go under the RV.

    Something hanging off the Rv like a netting of sorts would require suction cup hooks and stakes to keep the bottom to the ground. My concern would be that if your Frenchie is excitable and pushes on it it could be broken through easily if you choose to hang a light weight barrier.

    If worried about animals that may see your pet as prey, and wanting to allow your dog some fresh outside air without supervision, would recommend a large colapsable covered dog kennel.

    We have 16 24" Yaheetech panels. Even folded up they are large and heavy (60lbs) I thought about taking 8 panels and coming up with a barrier for under the camper that would be small and light. We have used ropes up to this point but she has them knitted up in about 10 minutes. We will be in Florida next week, parking on a pad, so I won't be able to put a spike in the ground. I thought maybe some clever sausage had already dealt with this and had a fix.

    40" fence on the perimeter and 24" along the RV. With the foam balls and connected to the 40" fence, the 24" is on asphalt and the stakes are just resting on the asphalt. Works well.

    Everything packs away nicely with velcro and bags for poles.

    Not sure how big or tenacious your dogs are, but we have found this lightweight plastic garden fencing works well under the RV to supplement our sturdier outer dog fencing. We fasten it to the camper with zip ties, velcro strips, and/or poles as needed. Our dogs are about 70 lbs but too lazy to be escape artists, so they've never tried to bust through it. It never rolls up again as tight as when it arrives, but it travels pretty well in storage. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
