 Fits great in our RV |

We received our crate yesterday and really love it. Good quality and nice and sturdy. My husband removed one of the dinette seats in our RV and it fits there just perfect. We needed a 42" crate that would be tall enough for our new 4 1/2 month old Labradoodle, but all the others were too wide for the limited space we had available. This was exactly what we needed. We put a thin carpet underneath the tray to prevent any wear from the bottom of the crate. I did see that Midwest offers the replacement trays for these crates on their website.
My only suggestion would be to have a divider panel available like all the other crates offer. If we had gotten our puppy at 8 weeks old, we would have had to get a smaller cage first. |

| Quality is good. Easy to assemble. Heavier than I thought it would be. Major concern is that you can not get replacement pans. Pan is made of the thin plastic that breaks easily. Would have paid more for the plastic pan that is more rubber like. Suggest putting cardboard between the pan and wire. |
Would be 5-star worthy if the latch worked . . . .

I own another Midwest crate that I've had for years and love. The brand is known for a strong, quality product. That is why with this purchase I was disappointed that one of the doors did not seem to have been welded in proper alignment with the rest of the crate frame. The result is that it takes quite a lot of force to get the latch to close. It is very difficult and renders that one door virtually useless, especially in any kind of emergent or rush situation. I would have returned this crate if I had not needed it so soon for a trip. Also, I do wish it had a door on the long side of the crate like our other Midwest crate does. This crate has doors on opposite ends -- front and back -- the short sides. Other Midwest crates come a door on the "long" side, so if you use the crate sideways in the car, you can still get the dog(s) out.
That said, I used this for two Westies, about 20 lbs each, in a Honda Element. I did not use it in the cargo space; rather, I removed one of the bucket seats and was able to fit this crate in its spot, leaving a good deal of cargo space in the vehicle available for packing. The dogs were comfortable, the crate folds, and if I can wear down the latch enough that it closes smoothly, I'll get a lot of use out of this. |

| Two of these crates just fit behind the back seat of my Ford Taurus X, where they essentially are a permanent part of the car. Being able to see through the crate while driving is the reason I did not use plastic crates. And of course, on the rare times that they removed, they fold up for storage. I carry an addition Midwest crate, folded up behind the drivers seat, to use at dog shows, and leave these Side-by-Sides in the car. |
