Scorpions are easy to avoid, they scurry along on the floor and try to hide from danger it is only when cornered that they lift the tail ready to strike at what ever is in front and some time side ways.
The tarantulas on the other hand are different, they also scurry along on the floor, except that when thy get scared the fine hairs on the back are let loose, since most animals need to smell what it is those fine hairs will be vacuumed by the nose and drift in and also get in the eyes and mouth.
Those fine hairs are the most irritating, nose , eyes and mouth will itch for a long time it is worst than getting fiber glass on your skin (angel Hair) that some people decorate the Christmas trees with.
Scorpions are easy to get out of the house, no they will not wander in the RV, a broom is all you need to swish them out the door, a tarantula on the other hand needs some fines, figure out what direction she is going and place a box open on one side about a foot in front and wait until she crawls in, gently lift the box and take it out side, keep the box to the side and slightly behind in case she releases the hairs, do not shake or tilt at all.
If you are brave enough you can place your hand on the floor palm up and let her crawl on it and then take her out side, you might have to let her crawl from hand to hand, some are pretty fast, I had one as a pet that was bigger than my dads hand.
