I would start looking into digital pianos. Beside weighing about 575 pounds less, it would actually stay in tune and keep working properly after bouncing down the highway.
That was my thought on both of DrewE's replies.
A real piano in a motor home could never stay in-tune. I advise to consider a decent digital piano with weighted & sensitive keys.....and it will be easy on your house battery too given how little power they require. If you already own the piano and want to keep your investment down, research new quality digital pianos on-line, then search Craigslist for a older used one.
If you want to keep your cost way down, there are many digital keyboards that were sold at big-box stores, the nicer ones have weighted and sensitive keys. The most obvious drawback to them is they don't have a full set of keys.
Your options are near endless with a digital piano or electronic keyboard. None will challenge the load of a motor home, all will work off your on-board power with ease, they will stay in-tune, and they are easily transported in and out from the motor home. If you are creative, you can integrate a keyboard into the cabinetry of your motor home as not to loose much storage.
One serious safety concern with a real piano is during an accident. The weight of any real piano will rip out from every type of mounting you can think of. It will be a 600 pound projectile headed your way. Not so with an electronic piano.
