That's a rude comment! You have no idea about my dogs or me. I shouldn't have to have my thread highjacked and have to answer for my dogs that don't bark.
Are you really sure my dogs bark? I did a time lapse video of them once and posted it on youtube. They were at home but there's plenty of noises there too. The camper is just a second home to them. Want to watch it? If you do, watch the clock on the wall. Then tell me they bark.

OH! Almost forgot. One of them is deaf now so make all the noise you want she isn't going to bark at you!!!!
Dogs bark primarily out of boredom, especially when left alone. How would you know if you're not there?

You just gotta love someone who knows everything there is to know about YOUR dogs! As I've stated, for the past 20 years we have traveled with 3-5 dogs, from collies to spaniels.... Never have we had issues with neighbors, never have we been asked to leave... Can't explain why someone who knows so much seems to have such an ear for a barking dog....but then again, some people aren't happy unless their's something to complain about.

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 gone about pets? Any ideas?

Not true :)
Not going to jump into this debate other than to say, I bring my 100 lb. dogs everywhere and leave them in TT all the time. No problems and typically have never had to worry about AC since we travel in the fall/winter. However, I like peace of mind so have been hunting for the best solution to 'keep an eye' on thing. I'm testing Valarm app. Has some built in sensors along with external sensors. I like the fact that I can monitor temp as well as Sound. Will even take a pic or video if you want.

No intention to be rude, only honest. If you substitute the word "child" for "dog", most likely you could not be so sure. Try "teenager".
I am not sure your dogs bark, but I am sure that your dogs are capable of barking given the right set of circumstances. Equally sure that most dog owners who are confronted by the ranger asking them to leave because their dog raised a ruckus and they had complaints would be mad, it would ruin an otherwise good weekend and they would adamantly declare that their dog does not bark.
We've had many, many dogs and I am probably more oblivious to the sound of barking dogs than some folks. Suggest you ask your vet if there is a way an owner can be absolutely sure their dog won't bark given the right stimuli.
