Something to consider is how many seats with seat belts will what you buy have. I See you are in Nevada. How well will your children do in the heat being in the tents? Our daughter has a 33 ft Leprechaun 371sa and has no problem getting in or out of campgrounds.
Funny you brought this up. Was just researching this. Not only how many seat belts but what kind and where are they located and will they work for you. My RV is jammed with seat belts but all of them are simple lap belts and only one of them has a safety latch system.

This leads me to believe that most people using RV's with young kids are taking some chances with the current child restraint laws and recommendations. Luckily, I only have one young child but we did have to buy her a new car seat (hard to find version) for the RV and we attach her car seat to the only latch system in it. Not sure what we will do if we ever bring a young friend.
Just some things to think about.
