Child safety in a prevost

We have a prevost as well as a newborn baby. We are wanting to take a trip to visit family in the next couple of months and I am clueless about child safety in a motor home.
Could anyone shed some light? It seems nearly impossible to attach a car seat in the prevost.. What do people do?

Is it legal to feed, change, play with your child while you are going down the road? I'm assuming the safety rules are quite different in a motorhome verses traditional car travel. We are clueless about this.

We don't use the prevost often, but feel it would be the perfect way to travel with a young child as it would be a home on wheels while we're away.

Any advice??
Thanks.

    It's a vehicle and the child must be in a restraint at all times, just like any car. And, to make matters more challenging, a baby must face backwards. That may be as hard to arrange in the Prevost as a forward facing seat for an older child. In our coach (a mere Monaco product), the only forward facing seat was the co-pilot's. Otherwise, the only seats with built in seat belts were the two couches. Am pretty sure that the law is clear on this.
