Pets left alone in RV at campground?

We are now a dog owner and would consider bringing her on next camping trip. Question for all: is it considered acceptable to leave dog in trailer while we are away?

Windows and vents will be open, curtains drawn, propane will be turned off. Where I travel no AC is needed. Dog is not a barker.

I asked at one place and they said no unattended pets. Of course they did. Maybe better to not ask and do it surreptitiously?

Surely campers with dogs are still able to get away for a restaurant, museum, other no-pets tourist attractions?

When we bring our dog with us, we plan the camping trip with her in mind. Plan meals at the camper if needed, plan trips where dogs are welcomed, etc.

If we have a trip involving places where dogs are not allowed, then we make arrangements for the dog to be taken care of at home.

We have been to many campgrounds over the years where we were next to or near the camper that had the dog that "never barks". The dog barks...

I have seen many dog owners who I swear simply are so used to their dog barking that they don't hear it anymore. Or, and this is usually more annoying, the dog owner screaming at their dog to shut up - usually involving many inventive words.

Dogs and camping always makes for interesting threads!
