I know this is an older thread, but I use these. I find them at yard and garage sale for a few dollars each. I have a German Shepherd and a 2 1/2lb papillon and they both stay in there. My GS won't jump anything. Mine are all white.

2 furry friends that camp with us.
We are new to Class C (we had a truck camper for 6 years, and a 28' 5th wheel before that) and we have used 4' tall xpens for years.
We have used a short piece of fencing under the steps so that no one can sneak under the camper.
If the dogs are in the pen - we are out there with the dogs. We never leave them alone. They are very agile. They never try to get over the fence - but I have seen them clear other 3-4 foot obstacles without trying. I think because they can see through the fence, they stay behind it. (but they do check the gate on a regular basis to see if it was left unlocked!)
the fence has served several purposes - keep our puppies restrained - but also keep the dogs belonging to idiots who dont use leashes out - and to keep the two legged animals out. We have had several cases where children want to pet or feed our dogs. The 4 foot tall pens help address the 2 legged animal problem - keeps the shorter 2 legged animals from reaching over. I am not worried about our dogs - they love people and children.
In our truck camper we used a modified bike rack on the front of the truck to carry the xpens. Now that we have gone to a Class C, we moved the bike rack to the back of the toad, and carry the fence there.
These octagonal pens, typically called X-pens, are great. We typically use 2 but you can use as many as you have room for. Flea Markets and yard sales are good sources for them at a reduced price. WM has them usually as does PETCO, PETSMART etc. Fold easy, store easy and travel great.
