There are no legal requirements regarding seat belts in the living area of an RV. Or any other safety standards, I might add.
NH49 CFR Part 571 Seat Belts on Motorcoaches
In accordance with NHTSA’s 2007 Motorcoach Safety Plan and DOT’s 2009 Departmental Motorcoach Safety Action Plan, NHTSA is issuing this NPRM to amend the Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) on occupant crash protection (FMVSS No. 208) to require lap/shoulder seat belts for each passenger seating position in new motorcoaches.This NPRM also proposes to require a lap/shoulder belt for the motorcoach in all seating positions, which currently are required to have either a lap or a lap/shoulder belt.
The "motorcoaches" addressed in that legislation are not RV's- they're buses.
