Congrats on the new RV—you’re in for an exciting adventure! However, keep in mind that your state’s seatbelt laws still apply when you’re in an RV.

.If you have a pull-behind RV, however, you can’t even sit in it while you’re driving. It’s incredibly dangerous to sit in a pull-behind RV while driving because it isn’t made to protect you in the event of an accident. As such, it’s best to stay in the car rather than the RV.
When you go on a long trip, you need good car insurance to keep you safe. The
