When we first started camping, our dog panicked when alone in the tt and would bark. We knew this because we tested her by getting in the truck and driving away and then coming back on foot. We solved this by not leaving her alone in tt until she felt it was her space. We also worked on getting her less afraid of the situation by shutting her in the tt with us just outside for longer and longer periods of time.
Now she is sure it is her space and, being a small dog, has the need to protect it. To solve this, when on electric hookups, we leave the a/c fan on or the tv on and close all the blinds. She can't see out and has noise to cover up anything going on in the campground. When not on electric, if it is hot, we will not leave her alone. If it is too hot for us, it is too hot for her and we all go in the truck.
