S1E13 How I Deal with 3 Dogs | Full-Time Truck Camper Living

[@oliveraerobatix]

Nat. Thanks for the video. I’m traveling with two dogs and find it challenging at times, so good tips. If I may suggest you get some disposable gloves for handling the black tank duties. Best, Jim

[@darylsmith146]

When rinsing your sewer hose, use a different hose other than the hose used to fill up water jugs for personal use

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

It might be a good idea to use disposable gloves when handling your sewer hose. 👍

[@karelkramer5488]

Keep the water hose away from the dump area. Don't let it rest on the ground there. I agree with others. Gloves. I keep mine with the water hose.

[@justkidding7523]

My dogs are envious of your dogs. 😊 Man, your dogs are living their best life. They’re getting so much mental stimulation and exercise. New subscriber!

[@overtheclouds9]

Wear Gloves 🧤filling up the truck with fuel and when dumping the tanks. DEF is basically cow pee. Sewer dump sites are usually, ummmm yeah. Not ever clean.

[@jasonfromi9906]

Great video

[@flatlineoutdoors2441]

My dog also likes to poop on top of bushes. It's ridiculous. Excited to see how you handle three of them in a camper - my two pups are a handful!!

[@NatMoran]

I'm so glad mine are the only silly ones. 😁 mine are a handful too but they seem to enjoy what I'm doing. As I type this, one of my dogs is curled up on my arm, the other by my feet, and the third just messed up my made bed to get comfortable in the pillows. Never a dull moment lol.

[@utubewatcher360]

thank you for LOVING your dogs and making it work during your travel and adventures. We have 4 dogs and it can be very challenging, but when you love them, it doesn't matter how inconvenient life can be, so long as your babies are with you. Keeping them safe is paramount

[@NatMoran]

YES!!! It can be really hard with dogs, but gosh life is so much more fun with them. :)

[@livingintheforest3963]

YES❤

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

I should say how refreshing your channel is... Thank you for showing us the real side, and for being you.

[@NatMoran]

Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot.

[@StrayWithMe]

I’m getting ready to transition from Vanlife to truck camper life and I am so happy I found your channel :) I also have a GSD and I’m excited for the extra space haha

[@sheilax89]

I just find your channel, so refreshing . This is my plan in the future, me my hubby and 2 dogs❤

[@colleencolleen44]

It is not really the safest thing to drive with a dog attached by his neck collar. If you stopped suddenly or (god forbid) have a accident then your dog could seriously injured his throat or even break his neck. I am really sorry I am such a negative Nancy! I had one dog that that was never a good listener so I had a harness and attachment perm attached on my truck seat ready to use for him. I really like your videos! I lost both my dogs this year due to health issues but when we went camping I always tied them up - and spent a LOT of time untangling them. I have sworn that I will properly train my next dogs to obey my commands as it will give all of us more freedom. This is, of course, what I tell myself 😂

[@PugLifeRocks]

I couldn’t do full time RV life without a bathroom in the RV. I need a shower daily. I hope you get an upgraded RV soon. Beautiful dogs!!!

[@7perfectstorm]

Your Dad was saying Bowling Green is Gods country but where your at is Gods country. Its beautiful out there.

[@4runnerlifestyle693]

Beautiful campsite, love your relationships with your pups❤️

[@joelm6631]

Lightly dampen any wood prior to gorilla glue and always use sparingly....keeps from crazy expansion. I am both jealous and envious of your travels. I'd recommend some gloves from harbor freight for dumping those tanks...Seems like the second I pull in to dump...some guy is behind me impatiently waiting. Good job! I'm a big fan of slow draining my gray w a lil open trickle...people freak out if u tell them but for years it was pretty common.

[@NatMoran]

I should have tried the wood trick because what I did .. didn't work. 🤣

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

Most truck stops like Love's have DEF fluid at the pumps. Very few, if any regular gas stations do. Just got back from New York Friday, and had to get DEF 6 times on that 3000 mile trip with my truck camper on.

[@NatMoran]

That sounds about right! LOL I just drove from Idaho to Kentucky and had to fill up a lot! I guess I need to get an adapter because the nozzles are too big for my inserter. I have to use the actual boxes with the cheap hose and that's a pain for me LOL.

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

@@NatMoran It's cheaper at the pumps at truck stops than buying the 2.5 gallon containers.

[@livingintheforest3963]

You are the perfect channel for me. I have three big dogs and I want to RV or camper. This is great thanks for being here.❤ New subscriber!!

[@NatMoran]

Awe thank you! I'm so glad you're here.

[@oliveraerobatix]

Hi there, Enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing. I’m planning on traveling with 2 senior GSDs this fall, great to get some tips and real world experiences . Do you find many parks that have restrictions about GSDs? And just adding to previous comments - Holy mollie! Get some good chemical gloves and separate hoses to use for water and tank flush when dumping tanks. Someone watching this video may be your next dinner guest😂. Best regards, Jim

[@NatMoran]

Hi! Thank you! I haven't ran into any issues having two GSDs. I think as long as they are well behaved most places don't say anything. 😊

[@tcb069]

ran across your channel ,looking how to travel with dogs , great info, pretty cool how you travel with the dogs , i have 2 and would be lost with out them , figuring out the best setup to travel in. will be watching more , thanks

[@64maxpower]

Just keep watching Nat. She is trying every setup

[@thathikingguy]

Great adventure Nat! And man those mountains are crazy beautiful! Thanks for taking us along

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Fun, great hike. Thank you. Blessings

[@bobbleheadwil5400]

Glacier, super jealous.

[@lllllsp1d3rlllll]

Your dog agron does that couse he is the alpha of your three dogs he is suppose to eat first go out first etc fyi the sighned before exits will tell u if the gas station has d.e.f that diesel exhaust fuel.all truck stops have it unless it's a mom and pop truck stop.

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

Whatever you do... Don't put Gasoline in a Diesel. Very Bad and Expensive Things Can Happen If You Start It Up! You will need to drain your fuel tank.

[@randyadamson4233]

Another Awesome vid Nat ! Keep em coming ! Rockon

[@buckcannon1811]

Great to see that you are carrying your Bear Spray with you. Being careless is not even an option being alone in the woods. By the way, your hair looks great! 😂😂😂

[@NatMoran]

Better to be safe than sorry! 🙂 Haha my hair is always a hot mess these days. 🤣

[@beardedmisanthrope9274]

Thanks Sweetie🤗

[@bidenthepotato9411]

She doesn’t care what you think Buck, I mean Sweetie🤗

[@Hare_deLune]

I doubt that super glue will be good for the long term. Wood glue is what you want for fixing wood. Time will tell, though. Good idea, using that bungie cord to clamp it. Oh, and a little tip: Try lying on a diagonal in your hammock, and see if that's more comfortable.

[@NatMoran]

Yeah one bump and it was on the floor. I'm rocking an open concept right now 🤣 I plan to do some fixing and remodeling in the next couple weeks so it'll get fixed soon ... hopefully. Lol

[@Hare_deLune]

@@NatMoran You can run some rope, bungie cord, or even duct tape across the front to keep things from falling out. ~_^ Oh! One more thing: If the cabinet door is thin, try gluing a thin bracing strip over the crack on the inside if you glue it again. Even a good, strong glue needs a bit of surface area to grip well.

[@64maxpower]

Natalie Moran is a bad ass and is my favorite nomad ever

[@kutthewire9029]

Thinking about getting an rv for me and my dogs tbh

[@NatMoran]

You should!!

[@dawnpup]

Could you give more information about those long leads you mentioned that are attached to your camper for the dogs? The captions said 325 ft but is that accurate? I'd love to get that product myself!

[@NatMoran]

Lol idk where those captions came from. That's funny. I just went to Petco and got a 25ft lead for each dog. They work really well and aren't too long/short. I [now] use a hook on each leash to connect to the lead so I don't have to disconnect the lead when taking them off. It's the simple things.

[@anthonymurphy1624]

A flat metal brace would take care of that door

[@tyrmorningstar8508]

I’m thinking of doing this with a pitbull and a teardrop, or some variation. I’ve been trying to see how to do it with one, i found someone who does it with 3. What are the biggest cons of doing this with dogs? If I did this I would have to work various jobs sometimes. I want to make sure he’s safe if I have to go somewhere he can’t for a little while.

[@NatMoran]

The biggest challenge is finding hotels or Cabins that allow them inside. Other than that, it's a joy to have them! They're the best travel companions.

[@Offdutynurse1964]

Lovely place

[@mikeham5465]

Wow

[@wolfdendrones8640]

Yep! My malamute loves to poop in the bush

[@NatMoran]

Haha I love that!

[@afj3rd]

Good job...you look pretty!

[@wisersweirdwanderings6779]

Just found your channel and subscribed.❤

[@wisersweirdwanderings6779]

We have 2 Great Pyrenees mixed with Rough Collie so they are giants and we have a van.

[@NatMoran]

Oh I love the puppies!!! Thank you for the sub! How's van life? I've considered going into it.

[@robbishop6450]

Great video ..I really like your new truck. what kind of gas mileage are you getting? Safe travels

[@NatMoran]

I get about 12mpg now.. still not great but better than 3mpg I was getting in my other truck. 🤣

[@anthonymurphy1624]

My dog will not poop while attached to a lease.

[@Rebeccaln61]

So my question is the dogs never get to play together???

[@NatMoran]

They played together all the time.

[@Enlightened77777]

Why can’t they be outside with you while your chilling outside?

[@roitx609]

Question is how to shower

[@NatMoran]

I had a shower inside the truck camper, it also had an outdoor shower, and I used my solar shower when I was low on water. It had a water heater, so I could take nice toasty showers.

[@michelegill5626]

I get that you love your puppies, but I feel sorry for them locked up so much in that tiny space. Do they ever get to get out and have a good run? Tied to ropes, no matter how long, doesn’t seem good for them…not enough exercise, and claustrophobic…

[@NatMoran]

Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate that people care about my doggies too. My boys are my number one priority. I take them to dog parks and let them run around all the time. They go hiking, trail running, and if we're alone (no other people around) I let them off leash. We also go find rivers and lakes to play in, so they're not living in a claustrophobic environment. In fact, I rescued one dog from an environment where he lived full-time in a dog crate. If anyone understands how important their exercise is, it's me. I battled with the idea on doing this bc of exactly what you mention and they're valid points! This isn't for every dog. Thankfully, I know my dogs (oldest is going on 10) and even when I had more space, they were right on top of me or at my feet. They never roamed to the other room or anything. They are so happy compared to living in a house with a backyard. I wouldn't worry about them, they're having fun sniffing new bushes, peeing on new rocks, and hiking different trails all the time. 🥰

[@justkidding7523]

These dogs are living their best life! They’re getting so much mental stimulation and exercise.

[@vlogwithkristel]

❤❤

[@colinmaddox8567]

I’m saving up and getting a diesel and doing this after winter when I have the money. Thanks for the inspiration 🫶🏻

[@NatMoran]

That is so exciting! I hope it works out for you!!!
