Lots of parks do have a rule about unattended dogs tied up OUTSIDE.
Every place that we have stayed has had a sign posted prohibiting "leaving pets unattended" with no mention of inside or outside, I assumed that meant both inside and outside.
Have I been interpreting the signs wrong, that only means do not leave your pets unattended outside, but OK to leave in the trailer? If that's the case we may bring our dog along a whole lot more often! She hates it when we don't take her places!

Maybe in Minnesota or Saskatchewan it's not a problem.
In Florida in the sun when it's 98 degrees out it could get 125-130 in an RV in very little time. Would they die in an hour?
I'm not ready to find out.
Texas or Arizona would be even worse.

I've just gotta' ask this since I can't understand...How does the temperature reach a level inside a travel trailer that is injurious to a dog?
I'm assuming a few things: The trailer is not parked in Death Valley, the trailer has ceiling vents and a fan can be powered, the trailer has enough ceiling insulation so that it's not just a steel box sitting in the sun, the dog is not a Malamute or Husky.
Is it that owners feel that their dog has to live in air conditioned space because the owners are uncomfortable without it? It occurs to me that dogs and humans existed through millions of years without air conditioning. Maybe I'm just blessed that I have good insulation in my rig and live in the Northern climes. Still, if I leave the roof vents open and have a fan going, even at 90f temps, the inside temps are not that much above ambient. Can be even cooler depending on location.

We have always let those in the office or at the gate know we would be gone, and would ask that they call our cell phone if the power is lost. A small note, including excessive barking is also on the camper.
Every CG we have been to, either private or state park, has had a sign that prohibits leaving pets unattended in campers. Sounds like that rule is widely ignored?
