RV For Dog Rescue Charity
I run a dog rescue transport charity where I bring dogs from high kill shelters to shelter in other states where they will more readily find homes. I usually rent a van, but I thought purchasing a use...

I had no plans to go to campgrounds with these rescue dogs. I thought overnight in a Walmart parking lot would be a better idea. Don't all RV's come with generators? A cannot get a toy hauler because I don't own a large vehicle capable of towing. Also, I would want to be in the RV while I am driving to keep an eye on the dogs.
Also, all of these dogs would be small breed, Chihuahua type dogs. No aggressive breeds at all would be transported.
Not all RVs come with generators. Most motorhomes do, although there are occasional exceptions, while the majority of trailers do not. Some RV generators are propane powered, which can be a bit problematic for extended usage due to the relatively small propane tank sizes and the occasional difficulty in finding convenient propane fill stations. (Incidentally, the term RV encompasses both motorhomes and trailers, in case you didn't realize that already.)
There are a few class C toy haulers around, by the way.
Keeping an eye on anything other than the actual driving when operating an RV seems to me to be a dangerous idea. Driving a motorhome (or pulling a decent sized trailer) requires more attentiveness than driving a car or van, due to the larger dimensions (particularly width) and the greater stopping distances and overall limited maneuverability that require one to pay attention to things further on down the road.
