"Gromit"our Border collie always sleeps in the campervan. Fortunately he never tries to get in the bed. His favourite place is in the cab in the drivers footwell although he sometimes sleeps under the table (we have a separate permanent bed).
If travelling long distances We occasionally have the odd night in a lay bye or motorway services (average cost about £8-) and his sharp ears are a useful early warning system if anybody is about. (No point in having a dog and barking yourself).
I know a lot of people are anti lay bye camping but if lorry drivers and gypsies can do it then so can tax payers. In any event we are very responsible, never camp where signs forbid it, and choose our locations carefully so please don't reply with lots of comments that we are being irresponsible. As a matter of interest there are normally a few other camper vans or motor homes around us when we wake up in the morning, but so far no caravans.
