My traveling companions have been an Aussie, a Cattle Dog; and now two Aussie-poos. All high-energy dogs. The secret to leaving them in the RV with the A/C running, is a brisk, long walk beforehand; then we'd close the shades and turn on the TV (to drown out outside noises, just in case) In over 13 years of RVing, we never had a neighbor say our dogs barked (and we asked them).
We enjoyed the companionship of our dogs, and we feel they added a certain level of security. If someone HAD attempted to get into our RV, they would have been greeted by some serious growling. Any sensible thief would go try to break into a less-threatening RV, I'm sure?
I don't ever remember that we couldn't leave our dogs inside the RV for a while. Most rules say they can't be left unattended OUTDOORS. We also tried to stay at KOAs, who tend to be so dog-friendly that many offer nice fenced dog parks.
