Some of you might remember that a few months ago I sent a post saying that I was a solo RV'er and was wondering what peoples' advice would be about getting a dog. The responses were in a slight major...

I just got back from a 15 week trip out West. Wouldn't ever consider a pet.
When I was at the parks, I was usually gone 6-10 hours per day. Can't take them on trails and can't leave them in an RV without AC. Most NP camping areas do NOT have electrical hookups. Plus, when I had electricity, I never wanted to leave the AC on when I was not there and never did, no matter what the temperature. I don't believe in wasting that much electricity.
One private park had a sign saying There would be additional charges if the AC was on and no one home.
Probably a good idea for you. Keeping something alive and comfortable is not a waste of electricity and who cares if it costs more. We just got back from 2 weeks at NP with no electric. I would rather leave my dog for 6-10 hours running generators than 6-10 days at a kennel.
