Regarding the original topic I have not seen anything suggesting privately owned coaches would be affected. Seems to be focused entirely on commercial trucks and buses.
Still, the topic will bear watching.
This is about a Federal requirement. The Feds only regulate commercial interstate commerce traffic. So this new regulation, if it happens, would only apply to private RV's if each state passed a law that parroted the Federal law. Even back during the 55mph speed limit days each state had to pass their own 55 mph law to make it apply but they all did so because the Federal Government threatened to withhold Federal highway funds if they didn't.
