Worried about a/c failing and dogs cooking

Mine don't. You'd never know they were in the camper. They're both Border Collies so I think they just read their magazines until we return.

I would suggest you buy a recording device and let it record what happens when you are gone.

In 15 years of camping I have NOT had the pleasure of a "quiet" campsite due to at least ONE camper near by that has left their dog alone.. Really does get my blood boiling since no one in the campground can calm your pet.

You ARE taking pets out of their "known" environment and putting them into a place which is not familiar with new noises and smells. Some my be fine with that and some not so good. The problem is no one really knows exactly how the pet will react. Some may sleep, some may whine, some may jump at the windows every time a certain sound happens and some will flat out bark the entire time.. YOU might be "happy" to take your pet with you but is your pet REALLY happy when you take a 8hr or more "daytrip" without them?

A few bucks at a pet resort can make both the owner AND pet "happy" all without the stress of not knowing if the A/C is running or did the pet break through the popup canvas or through a window..

Its your pet and your responsibility to choose the best way to keep your pet safe..

I chose to not have pets, my allergies prevents me from enjoying a pet, it doesn't mean I don't like them but to me leaving pets unattended (even in a car or trailer with A/C running)is not nice to them nor to others nearby..

Can't tell you just how many times I have walked or been parked by vehicles and had even the most docile dogs take running leaps at the windows when someone walks by..
