I find it hard to believe that no one here leaves their dog alone for a couple of hours. What do you do at home? Take the dog everywhere with you? Our camper is our home when we are camping. Dog is happy to live in the camper. She prefers to not be alone, but that's true at home as well, and dog has to learn that sometimes she is expected to behave without our being there to monitor.
It takes training. Easy to find out how to do it and there are many books and videos. Basically just start out with very short periods, with you right outside the door to monitor, and to take action if bad behavior begins. Soon your dog won't know if you are really gone, or just outside the door. Also soon you will know if you have a lonely barker or not. Oddly, our dogs have always seemed to be on their very best behavior when we are gone. Nothing chewed up. Pretty sure that when we leave, nap time begins.
If we want to go to dinner, much better to leave Mandolin in the camper than in the truck. I'm careful to turn off ignition sources like the water heater when we leave. But that's just smart practice regardless.
I don't feel the need for a monitor, and where we camp it would be unusual to have a cell signal anyway. I wouldn't expect weather to change so drastically in 2 hours that it would be a surprise. Just take some time for training, in the camper, in strange campgrounds, and you should be fine. And common sense would say, don't leave fido alone in a strange campground the very first moment you arrive.
