Hi we have the rail anchor from Campervan bits with lead / short seat belt adaptor. Useful also when you have a stop or just setting up as the sliding door can be open with dog secured. Works for us with a lively dog!!
Yes that is a good use for it. Thank you ,

First weekend out with our van....we have a Border Collie Mix rescue pup- he weighs about 30kg (66 pounds)- we have a seat belt harness for him and he sits on the bench seat in the GC600. He also has a dog bed on the floor. But he has a bit of anxiety- I think because the front seats are so far away- in our car the front seats are very close to the back seat. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I don't think he enjoys sitting on the floor when the car is moving- the vibrations....similar to an elevator- which he really doesn't like (shakes).

I was looking at the car seats- really just to give him security (I think the sides would help him)- but most are only up to 25kgs. Has anyone found one for a larger dog?

We have a big trip coming up (3 weeks) and want to make it as anxiety free as possible for him!

Would the ‘hammock style’ set up work in a GC. I don’t know the layout, in particular the table, if it drops and slides away. The hammock may give a security feel.
I’m assuming GC has no ‘floor rails’ ( like our Cal Ocean, as no need) so you could place between rear seat and front seats some kind of support, level with rear seats, maybe boxes that could double as storage and pack away when parked up.The hammock would then attach to rear seats and the back of your front seats .
Amazon do a range of these hammocks.
