Hmmm. We also camp with an old cat (and an old dog), but we face the opposite problem. We don't want the cat on the bed. My wife's allergies kick up too badly.

Anyway, how about building a narrow ramp? Get a piece of 1x4 or 1x6 board, maybe 4 feet long. Glue a strip of carpet to the top. Screw a small metal L-bracket to the underside of one end. In use, set the board against the bathroom wall, with one end on the floor and the bracket end up on the bed frame. Hook the end of the L-bracket over the edge of the bed frame, against the mattress.

If the ramp is narrow enough, it won't interfere with the under-bed cabinet door, and it's easy to store while travelling.

Just a thought.
