Broad Mod: RV Cab Separator

While we love our dogs, they also love climbing into the driver and passenger seat in our RV (a 2022 Entegra Accolade XL 37L). We still have two puppies and they like to chew on everything! That’s a problem insofar as we keep several gadgets with chewable cords in the driving area.

To keep our puppies out of the driving area, Kasie designed this 48”-tall wall. It’s made of plywood covered in some peel-and-stick wall paper. The plywood is screwed into the “wing-walls” of the cab and a small frame that she built at the bottom of the cab opening. From right to left, the panels are 36”, 22”, and 22” wide.

The door opens to the cab area.

We prop the door open on travel days so that we have easy access to the RV living area. Importantly, we have to remember to open the door BEFORE retracting our slides! If the first panel would have been roughly 39” wide, that issue could have been avoided. Thus, our advice is to do some measuring for your particular rig with the slides retracted before the build.

Overally, it’s a pretty clever design, and we have not had any issues with it after traveling a few thousand miles.
