RVing With Dogs

It is getting hot quickly here in AZ. That means its time for air-conditioning. I personally don't like A/C, but it is absolutely mandatory for dogs in an RV. A good rule of thumb is that if it is 80F or more outside, always use A/C in your rig. Unless you have a Chinese crested hairless type of dog, your dog will be hotter than you. And, as I am sure you know, dogs can't sweat enough to really cool themselves off - like humans can.

Also, never leave your dog in the RV in warmer weather without leaving the AC on. We always leave a window slightly open as well, in case something should happen to the A/C while we are gone. Lastly, consider purchasing a Maxxair vent (http://www.maxxair.com/) with thermostatic control, so you can be guaranteed that the fan will go on if it gets too hot in the vehicle.
