Never been in motorhome during quake, but have been in my pickup truck near the epicenter of about a magnitude 5. It gave a good sharp kick to the truck @ 70 MPH. Asked friend, did you see a bump? Did you see if we hit something. No.... I hadn't either. Then saw power lines arcing and flashing at night. Got home to read about the quake.
Any moderate plus (felt at your location) quake you would feel in RV. I've felt a lot of earthquakes. They can be a single jolt mild or more. Or they can roll on for many seconds. I went through the Hector Mine earthquake out in desert in a small cabin-it was like the cabin was on a trailer pulled down a rough dirt road. Shaky and noisy. Suspension in RV may smooth it out a bit but any moderate quake will get through.
