We've just had our mini schnauzer with us for 30 days in Yellowstone, took him out everyday. We did a few short hikes, it was cool (actually cold) in the car and he was fine in the car. You can not take them on hikes in the back country, and they are not allowed 10 yards off the main road (I think that's a bit much actually) Of course if there are animals around, no dogs should be out on a hike!
In the RV park it was grand - most parks are pet friendly, and you have the little ubiquitous blue bags to go on poop patrol, and you're in good shape.
If you plan to do backcountry hiking and camping, dogs are not a good idea, but that's about the only thing I can think of that would preclude you including them in your trip. One of the things I love about RV-ing is including our pet in all our trips!
