It wasn't too tight with the pups in the trailer but we are used to sleeping with them. (spoiled) The real problem was the condensation from the 4 of us breathing in there all night! I'll have to find a way to dehumidify it in there.
How did you get the dogs to open their mouths like that?

I just said "Say Awwww!" Hehe actually Blue started to yawn and Cowgirl followed suit. It was a lucky shot!

We have the O2 Fan also. I have glued dowel rods to top of the inside of the window frame that fits the hook on top of the fan. This way the fan draws in the cooler outside air. With both windows open we have no condensation. In cold weather I have a small electric heater that has a thermostat that I hang from the top rear shelf. Then open one of the windows. This keeps us confortable and minimizes the condensation.
We have added the outside dressing room from "CAMP INN" to Grani's side which then holds her door open. Helps with ventilation, dressing and other things. With total enclosure with a floor might make a sleeping area for dogs or small children.

Thanks for the tips! I will look into these solutions and see what works best for us. I've definitely been considering a small tent/changing room to put on the side as you described. It sounds like a really good idea during the summer time since the dogs will probably get hot and want to lay out on the ground.
Heaters do kind of dry the air, don't they? I guess it may depend on the type of heater. A small, compact, and efficient heater might do the trick.

Thanks for the great links!
My wife and I are starting to pack up and in 3 weeks we should be fully loaded with the trailer on our way to Idaho!
