Traveling with dogs

I will be full-timing in just a few months. I have two small poodle-mix fur babies that I would like to take along, but I have serious concerns. In my quest to find RV parks on the first route I have planned, I am finding considerable restrictions regarding pets; some that allow dogs will not allow you to leave them unattended even inside the MH. What? How does a single person go to the grocery store?

Also, one of my little darlings is a runner...give him an opening and he is gone. I dread the idea of setting up and tearing down a dog fence every time I move and constantly watching over my shoulder. This retirement adventure is supposed to "reduce" my stress.

While this sounds like I am trying to talk myself out of taking them with me, I also don't like the thought of not having them along. I would appreciate some honest and practical reflections from those who full-time with their pets.
