Unattended CG rule means INSIDE the camper also. Some CG's are very strict about this. If your dog barks when you leave you will have problems.
Most are not strict about this at all..unless your dogs are loud and totally obnoxious then they will use this rule and ask you to leave.
When you leave them alone, pull the shades, turn on the fans or AC and make sure there is a radio on, if they can't hear noises outside they will more than likely just sleep.

I agree with Sher. We also crate our dogs when we leave them alone inside the RV, even though at home they're never crated. Crating in the RV means they won't be able to stick their heads up under the blinds or curtains to find something to bark at.
We've only encountered a handful of campgrounds whose rules specifically stated that dogs weren't to be left alone unattended inside the RV. In each of those instances I called the campground and asked for clarification and was told by every one of them that it was absolutely fine to leave our dogs alone as long as they don't bark. So my advice is . . . call and ask.
And if you're not positive that yours don't/won't bark, you can easily monitor that by using a voice activated recorder or something like Bark Sentry.
