Dogs and travel trailers?
We're looking for our first RV. I've done a lot of research, but still can't quite figure out what would be best for our situation. We will be traveling with 3-4 dogs and need to be able to leave ...

Trailers and fifth wheels are not designed to be ridden in. The poor animals would be tossed around and possibly harmed. Much better if they ride in the truck with you.
Yes, people will get upset if you run a generator. If it is a Honda or Yamaha inverter type, not very upset. If it is a contractor generator, which are much cheaper, they will be coming after you with torches and pitchforks. Trailers will operate off their batteries for a reasonable period of time, but what you will not have is air conditioning, that requires an electrical hookup or a good generator.
Walmart is not boondocking. It is generally for overnight stays, while people travel from spot to spot. They are not for staying for a week or two. They really don't care if you have a motorhome or a trailer. Many people feel that running a generator in a Walmart parking lot is over the top, with the exception being an enclosed generator in a motorhome and even that might be frowned upon.. I wouldn't trust setting a $1000 Honda or Yamaha outside on the grounds of a Walmart, that would be an invitation to a thief. I don't think a contractor generator would appropriate under most any circumstances at a Walmart. Four dogs are going to be a challenge, even in the best of situations, and it sounds like that is not the case. Good Luck.
