Seat Belts
Who, in an RV is required to wear seat belts? Also, is this a state or federal law?

As far as I know, they still do not have seat belts in school buses.
School buses, are built like absolute TANKS - they are extremely heavy, due to the steel cage all around to protect occupants in the event of a crash. Also, every seat in a school bus is specifically designed, with a tall cushion in front of it and behind, to protect occupants in the event of a sudden stop. They are also severely restricted in most states, in terms of top speed. You'll never see a school bus going 65 or 70 mph. Many are limited to 45 mph, even on major highways. Not to mention, they are driven only by someone with a CDL license.
That is why passengers on a school buses don't have to use seatbelts. That, and seatbelting in dozens of children in a bus creates much more serious problems than it avoids, in the event that they have to evacuate the bus quickly.
NONE of those things are true about a Motorhome. Soo, please don't compare an RV to a school bus, as that comparison is completely ridiculous. Its like comparing a M1 tank to a cardboard box, haha.

My Bluebird Wanderlodge is built just the same, an all steel tank. It is one of the reasons we got it. They do NOT explode in a wreck like 98% of MH's do.
