Just a thought traveling with an RV- We just bought one of those plug in coolers. We keep all the raw in there while we travel. if we are at a show with no hookups, we pack the food with ice. if there are hookups, we just plug the cooler in. They are about $80 but well worth it! also, I've never had a problem feeding raw & kibble but my crew will eat just about anything. Anyone concerned about feeding marrow bones- don't be! They are so nutritious, the dogs love them, keeps their teeth clean and it is great exercise. also, I've been told that all the knawing puppies do on bones will help the cartilage in the ears strengthen and go up easier. something to think about. I haven't had a problem with ears so far so I don't know how true that is but it does make some sense and I'm sure can't hurt.
