We have two dogs, a 40 pound Basenji (8 month old) and a 60 pound Doberman/Greyhound cross (11 years old). The Basenji sleeps either at the foot of my 5 year olds bunk or on the dinnette seat bench. The Doberman sleeps beside my feet on the bed.

They go with us every time we camp.

My 10lb peekapoo loves to camp as well. He sleeps up in the cabover even with the HMG along. He guards the place when I am not around. He is a great traveler. He can do 10 hrs nonstop. He has been to Ca twice Az 3 times and up and down the rockies. He can only see out windows if the mnts are really high or we are in a tunnel, never complains.

When my yellow lab (80-90 lbs) was alive I put his dog pillow on the floor of the camper and he slept there. had to be careful when I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Now I have 2 cats and they sleep where ever they want to. Usually with us in the bed but sometimes on the dash of the truck (I have a boot and keep the pass thru open when we are stopped because the litter box is behind the passenger seat of the truck).

Two retired racing greyhounds, and they both sleep in the rear tent section of our 830. In fact we bought the 830 with the tent option just for this purpose. Here's our lazy blue one slumbering in Sedona.

5 lb maltese. sleeps in the bed with us both at home and in the MoHo. We also litter trained her and keep a smaller litter box in the MoHo. Makes it great for traveling.

We've got a 45lb Shiba Inu. He sleeps below the sink. Usually his bed (the maroon pillow by his head) is laid just below the sink and he'll curl up on it there, and we put his water dish below the dining area bed. With the pack n' play set up on the dining area bed, and DW and I in the overcab bed, we've got a fairly full house during the night.

My 5 lb Pom sleeps on the carpeted foot rest in front of the sofa, I think she keeps her eyes open all night (fear of being stepped on).

5 lb Pom has slept on the bed with us, but we were scared of her falling/jumping off so we always had her on a leash. Now that she has breathing issues and needs to get water/pee in the night, she sleeps on the floor in her bed. Our 35 lb Brittany sleeps in her crate either on a seat under the table or in the kitchen depending on how we are configured. If the cat is with us, she sleeps wherever she wants but usually the dinette.
