I have 4 dogs and we usually only leave the RV for a few hours at a time. I think the longest we ever left them alone was about 5 hours.
We use a product called Temperature alert. It is a small device that hooks via a USB port to a computer. I have a small inexpensive laptop that I hook the device to. We use one of our cell phones (usually my wife's) for an internet hot spot (or if there is wireless at the park, we will use it). I setup a free gmail email account and I set the software to email me the temperature every 10 minutes. We then take my cell phone with us and can check the email when we want to see the temperature in the RV. We never venture too far away and if we start seeing the temperature rise (hasn't happened yet), we would come back to the RV. It's a pretty cheap solution and really is good for your peace of mind knowing your dogs are comfortable.
