While out and about when camping ..... what device do you use to check to make sure A/C or power has not gone out in camper ? Always worried that when we are away from camper power will fail and our fur baby will suffer in the heat of the camper. I have been researching Govee temperature monitor and My Waggle. Need suggestions please.

I don't have any experience with these devices but we have also been thinking about something like this?
We haven't left our pups alone in the camper for more than 5 or 10 minutes but there are activities that we would like to have the option for.
Most camp sites "forbid" leaving pets in the camper.
If you're going to do it, Waggle seems like a good solution?
Good luck, & please let us know what you decide.

I bought the Govee temperature and humidity monitor off Amazon for $46. As long as you have a wifi connection in your RV it will send the alerts to your phone no matter where you are. Seems to work pretty good so far, but it’s a small sample size. We didn’t want to leave our dog behind in the RV for fear of a power outage and this seemed to be a good option.

this is what I have done so far for the situation.... Bought a Temp stick by Ideal Sciences. Then bought a Straight Talk 'mobile hot spot". Our neighbor who is IT for big hospital here has been helping me figure this out. We can can go anywhere now and all is set up to connect to a "hot spot" wifi. at campgrounds. You do have purchase a pre pay card.($15 a month for 2 gig) Information will be sent to my cell phone if temps change in the camper or power outage. We can purchase a bigger gig card if we want to use for TV with our saved channels such as Amazon Prime, Discovery Plus or Disney. Not really worried about those channels while camping. Straight Talk is sold at Walmart as is the pre pay cards. I will let everyone know how this works soon.
