Turns out they don't mix real well. In most US national parks, they only allow dogs within a few hundred feet of roads (no hiking trails!) and you can't leave your dog unattended, even crated.
This appears to be do to the myth that dogs either are generally a nuissance to wildlife (i.e. they cause stress and/or can carry disease) or that they will attract wildlife (read nasty grizzly bears) to you.
What's funny is that Canada doesn't have these rules, so we intend to spend a few more days there.
The upshot is that we'll need to modify our plans a bit in the US. The good news is most of the places we intend to go have good trails in national forests adjacent to the national parks. In general, dogs are allowed on trails in national forests.

Tour the *actual* RV
Here is the RV we'll be living out of for a month. It is a 2008 and as you'll see, it's very clean inside...
...and here's the back...
...come on in!...
...to the right is the cockpit...
... gadget alert! (Backup camera.)...
... la cocina...
...and a very nice control panel. Don't want overflows or dead batteries! ...
Excellent seating area, equiped with seatbelts for comfort during the drive...
... a shower and toilet. Kinda small but workable...
...and much better than this bed! :)
Gonna miss the 46" LCD, but I guess this will do. Watching TV isn't the purpose, right ??? :)
That's it! Stay tuned for more posts.
