First, I don't email. Second, I call during business hours and haven't had any problems.
I know that some parks don't want broken down hulks polluting the landscape but will waive the requirement if the rig is in decent shape.
As for the pets, we leave our two dogs alone all the time while we sight-see. I'm not aware of the 'don't leave pets alone policy'. Here is KOA's official policy, for example:
"Some visitors enjoy sharing the pleasures of camping with their dogs or cats. To ensure that all guests have a safe and enjoyable experience, KOA has established some guidelines.
Call ahead. Check with the campground about its specific pet policies. Some don't allow pets in Cabins, for example, or may have limited pet units. Others don't accept particular breeds that insurance providers have identified as having a history of aggression.
Bring your helper. Service dogs are welcomed at all KOA Kampgrounds. (Leash and aggressive behavior rules apply.)
Good behavior is required. Dogs of any breed that are hostile or aggressive will be asked to leave the campground, along with their owners.
Bring the leash. Dogs must be kept on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside their owners' vehicles or rental units. Do not leave a tethered dog unattended.
Remember manners. Constant barking bothers other campers. If your pet is too vocal, you'll need to find other accommodations."
You'll notice no mention of leaving a pet alone inside a rig.
