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...

I have met many dog owners that treat their dogs like their children which is fine.
In fact, some responders in this thread may do just that.
Now seriously, would you leave your human children in a closed up trailer with the hope that all the stars are properly aligned and nothing will go wrong while you are gone?
I have camped for well over 40 years. I now manage an RV park. My air conditioners have sometimes failed for one reason or another and power outages in RV parks do occur including in my park.
So if you are comfortable abandoning the "children" that you so dearly love and can then live with yourself if the worse does happen, then go for it.
As far as the barking goes, if you read the rules and regulations that many facilities have, you will see that one of the common rules is not creating a nuicence to other campers and sorry, a dog that constantly barks while it's owner is gone is a nuicence and I can't begin to tell you the number of owners that swear their dogs don't bark when they are gone when in fact they do.
And one more thing. My park is across the street from the ocean. A few years ago after the big quake in Japan, we had a Sunnami alert and we evacuated the park. You see, there are some unexpected circumstances that can happen and I'm sorry but it's not fair for irresponsable pet owners to place responsibilities for the well being of their pets in someone else's hands. During that alert, there were a number of RVs that had to be forced open in this area so pets could be removed because their owners were out having a good time. So that "slight" chance mentioned in this thread that something could happen, does happen.
