Open alcohol containers

In many states, it is illegal to carry open alcoholic beverage containers in motor vehicles. Does this apply to RV's? We'd like to carry the vino in the notch in the front door.

    So you can reach it easily?:h
  • If it's in the front door pocket, or anywhere in the drivers area, it's a ticket. If it's back in the "home", portion of your rv, your ok.
  • I think carrying open containers in the front door pocket is asking for problems.
    Keep it in the back.
  • I would definitely not put it in the cab area but in the way back should be okay.
  • In Michigan, I'm pretty sure the law says something to the affect it can't be accessible by the driver of an rv, taxi, bus, limo, etc.

    I would err on the side of caution and relocate that open bottle somewhere other than the front seat area.
