Running A/C while driving
Wondering if anyone runs their A/C while driving to the campsite? It gets pretty darn hot around here and would like a cool trailer when I get there. I would also like to leave my pet back there as he...

Ok, a nerve has been hit...letting your dog ride in the back of a pickup, unless in a crate, is IMHO, THE STUPIDEST thing you could do to a pet. Ever seen one fly out of the back when you have to make an unexpected swerve??? It's not pretty and the animal is usually hit by other vehicles. After working in a Veterinary ER, there is not much I haven't seen. Don't do it. May even be against the law in some places, but stupid in all places.
Now what was the original question??? Oh, re the dog in the trailer. May or may not be legal - against the law for people to ride in a towable trailer. Can almost guarantee that you'll have a major mess to clean up from an urpy stomach or other. Or the dog freaks out and trashes the trailer. Bad idea. Any reason the dog can't ride INSIDE the truck???
Agree that livestock are living creatures and it would be wonderful if there were another way to transport, but there isn't.
Re the A/C...just plug in and turn it on the minute you get in the site...it'll be cool enough in a few minutes while you're setting up the outside stuff. I can't see running a gen to cool an empty trailer, but whatever.
