We used to use one for our mini-dachshund in the motorhome. She could go down the stairs and just within our campsite to potty and then come back in - similar to the unfenced yard. During the day we would leash her and go out, but at night we let her go down the stairs by herself on the retractable, mostly because of my bad knees and not wanting to stand in the campground in pjs. lol
