I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Agreed. But I'd also venture a guess that those are NOT the people coming here to ask if it's okay to leave a dog in their RV. ๐ On the contrary. My guess is anyone hanging out and asking questions on an RV'ing pet forum is likely to be a conscientious pet owner.

My dog has traveled over 30,000 miles with me, and I haven't had any troubles. We've been to Alaska and back one and a half times, California and back, out east, down south, all over.
My dog is one of the main reasons I bought a trailer. I hate leaving him "at home", locked in a box at a kennel 23 hours a day. That's just CRUEL. Even the best kennels are still just a locked box. I wanted the dog for companionship, so he's my companion, and goes where I go. If someplace is not friendly to dogs (rare that I've experienced), they don't receive or deserve my patronage.

LOL! I'd venture a guess that 99.5% of those who take their dogs (and will leave them at the campground) wouldn't go to anywhere near those lengths to ensure their furbabies don't bark.

It depends on the dog. A high energy, high strung dog who barks at the slightest outside noise would be a problem. A number of times we have been near an RV with a dog or dogs that would start barking as soon as the owners left and not stop until they returned.
Our dog (and previous dog) is an older Golden. And a slug. When we leave, she goes into the darkest corner of the bedroom, tucks her face under the bedspread, and sleeps. And that is where we find her when we return. Even in a noisy park.

Have to agree. If you aren't there, how do you really know that the dog doesn't bark?

Don't get me wrong, I am a dog person, but believe that not all dogs are fit to travel. Everyone who owns a dog thinks their pet doesn't bark, and if it's a "dangerous breed" they never bite nor been aggressive towards anyone.
Have to agree. If you aren't there, how do you really know that the dog doesn't bark? Just because no one complained? If the rule states no unattended pets, then all should follow the rules so that the rule doesn't become "no dogs".
Amen, no crates
Why? Many vets recommend this, provided they get adequate exercise and attention. Some dogs don't need it-mine prefer it. After watching the aftermath of my BIL's dog eat a battery we decided crate training is a much better alternative. I'm sure I'll get blasted by the "I never make a mistake" crowd but none of us can foresee every little possibility.
