Worried about a/c failing and dogs cooking
I always worry about my a/c failing while we're out and the dogs cooking in the camper. The campground could lose power or any number of things could cause the a/c to fail. Do you worry when you're go...

You betcha I'm a worrier and my pets being in a dangerously hot environment is way at the top of the list. We never leave Foxy alone in the trailer. Never. If we take a little day trip she goes with us.
For full-timers or even snowbirds, the cell number and letting the office know you'll be gone for a short while is perfect. Doubt that it would work in a regular weekend camping situation, but so great that the staff will help out like that.
The only concern I would have about leaving windows open is on the chance that your pet freaks out for some reason and - size dependent - gets out the window and is gone in a flash.
I know not everyone has the luxury of having an additional person at home when we're camping to tend to the other doggies - only 1 is a camper. On that one time each year when DS#1 will go with is to FL, we have two wonderful neighbors that care for our dogs like they were their own - maybe better. And boarding is expensive, but if it came to it, if boarding were my only choice, I would camp less often to make sure my dogs were safe.
This summer heat death for children and pets is just beyond my imagination. Even at home, our dogs are not allowed outside for more than about 5 - 10 minutes max during the day because their yard gets so little shade. Morning and evenings are theirs to enjoy.
