Kudos for the crates for the dogs in the bed that has a cap for traveling with the dogs! As long as you know what the temperature is back there at ALL times. If you have a slide back window in the cab area you can use an outside oven temperature gauge they have a real long cord to monitor the temp in the back while you are driving.
You seem to already know most of the difficulties of traveling with a banned breed so him being over CG's weight restrictions is a moot point.
Sadly with a banned breed dog you will not have the pleasure of traveling and stopping at will at the next camp ground available.
You will have to make numerous calls ahead to find a CG that will accept a Rottie. They ARE out there but not on every corner per se.
The barking and most 'definitely' the aggressive issue that you are 'not sure of' "IMHO" needs to be taken care of or eliminated before you take them to a CG in close quarters with people, dogs and children.
They make tops for expens. I RV with 4 dogs and 3 expens with lids. More so to keep inquisitive adults and children's fingers and out of my my dogs face's when they are outside in the expens.
Which also brings about the issue of expens. Many CG's will not let you put them on your site.
Many CG's have rules that you can NOT leave your dogs unattended in the camper. In 'my' travels it seems it's this rule they enforce the most. Again call ahead and ask if this is one of their CG rules.
I just call and ask them to send me a copy of their CG rules. Then I don't' have to go into all the rhetoric of breed, size, quantity, etc with them on the phone.
This can be done but you DO have big modifications to schelp with to cover the bottom of the RV with in this half circle.
Many do successfully RV with banned breeds. It's just more challenging! Good Luck.
Happy Camping. :C

They will bark when people approach our home and I think the rottie would be protective if an aggressive or dangerous person approached, but I am not sure.

We are figuring on modifying a portable exercise pen so that it will form a large half circle around the door when we are parked.
