Travelling with smaller ones in RVs has always been a challenge with respect to child seats, shoulder belts and harness tethers as they are not DOT required in a MH. I applaud you for wanting to take on the task, just remember that RVs are built more like houses than cars - and light houses to save weight. The structures in MHs do not have to be designed to survive structural crashes and rollovers. As a result, you will probably be tying into a stud - a 2x3 or even a 1x2. Not that it can't be done, just be aware that the lateral structural rigidity is not like a pillar or seat frame on a car. And the areas behind a dinette are not directly attached to an external wall stud - more likely a kitchen counter frame. I have seen MHs with an extra row of passenger seats.
