Keep her close. Some animals will take the dog for food right in front of you eyes. Many places say that you can not leave the dog unattended. Even if it is inside the camper. I ignore that. As long as the dog doesn't bark how do they even know it's in there ?
I have a kennel for my dog that I use when leaving the camper. I also have a Bark Collar. I haven't had to use use the bark collar in a few years. He got the idea. He may bark when I first leave. If he does I go back and punish him. I have sneaked back to the camper after driving away and he is quiet. I have many times asked the neighbors if there was trouble and they said no.
Take the dog,, keep it safe !!! leave it behind when you must. And make sure it is quiet when you leave it alone.
Maybe I should have called the Kennel a Crate but, the idea is the same. Train your dog to like the crate. They will think of it as a home and feel secure in it. Then you can leave them in the RV when you leave and no one will know that they are there.
I feel bad when I have to do this but, sometimes there is no other choice.
The dog doesn't care as long as he gets to go with (and not get left home) and sniff new things.
