Like I said, I was just thinking out loud. And yes, if a trailer is sitting in the sun and the power goes out the trailer will heat up like an oven. Ye it would probably be OK for and hour or 2, but If I got a text of power outage I wouldn't just keep on site seeing and forget about my animals! Chances are slim it would happen, but its always a possibility.
I guess my point is changing thermostat and using cell phone is far from foolproof. Slip someone at the CG $10.00 to call you if the power goes out. But even if the power goes out, the dog is not guaranteed to perish. A dog can survive 100º temps. for a few hours.You are not leaving the dog for a week you are leaving him for 8 hours or so.
I've been leaving my dog in the RV every trip for 10 years now and he's still around to bark about it.:)
