Traveling Companions and the RESTRICTIONS
We travel with 3 Pomeranians, and they are pretty well behaved. All dogs bark, all dogs poop, and even some will bite, when provoked. Ours do all but the biting thing... We carry a pen like enclosure....

I'm going to suggest that there is also a difference between "Camping" and "RVing".
Camping - spending a particular length of time in a natural setting to enjoy the outdoors. The reason for choosing that location is specific - because you want to enjoy that space of outdoors.
RVing - setting up "home" in a particular location for a particular length of time. The reason for choosing that location is varied - both between different RVers and between different locations (e.g., to visit relatives in the area, to see the sights of a particular town, etc.).
To me, putting up fencing while camping is so wrong. The concept of camping is that you are a part of a bigger thing, you are sharing the space with others for the enjoyment of that space. Putting up a fence says "this is MINE - stay out" which contradicts the idea that the space belongs to everyone.
RVing on the other hand is more like setting up a temporary "home base" that is yours. You're homesteading - however temporary. I can see people putting up fencing, area lighting, decor, etc. as part of that homesteading.
As a camper, I don't want to see homesteading. I'd rather someone use a portable pen to enclose a small space than to put up fencing to enclose an entire campsite. Fencing (no matter how inconsequential) just doesn't mesh with the idea of camping.
