Not trying to say that our dog is quiet but what I found that works for all the dogs we ever had was to turn the AC fan to High (med and low work too) and even if the temp does not kick the AC on, the fan provides white noise for the dog and it has stopped all of them from barking. My wife likes to leave the radio or the TV on for them too.
Not trying to start an argument, but if you aren't there how do you know for certain that they aren't barking? If the rules state no dogs left unattended then I will not leave my dog unattended. It's that simple because then the next step the cg may take is no dogs at all.
I am gonna have to agree with Crowe, no way for you to know if the dogs are behaving or not when you leave unless you add some sort of IP camera to monitor them via your cell.
I can in fact attest to the fact that running a A/C does not always work to keep the dogs quiet..
I camp in the deep South in the summer where daytime temps often hit 95+ and that is on a cool day.. Running A/C 24/7 is pretty much a mandatory item when leaving dogs behind in a RV.. Without it those dogs wouldn't stand a chance after a couple of hrs locked up in a RV.
I am not trying to be mean and I am not against dogs but even the most well trained dog can easily get upset or anxious and not behave as trained at the slightest noise above what they are used to or when their master is not present..
Don't get me started on the radio/TV either, have endured a few campers that used that ploy and would leave the TV on at high volume plus the A/C running or the ones that leave the radio run but neglect to turn off the outdoor speakers for an entire day for their dogs..
RVs are not sound proof by any means, loud sounds from inside easily pass to the outside just as well as outside noise passing into a RV.
