Don't let your son's want for a fish eclipse the cruelty of what you are proposing to do. This is a bad idea. The movement and unstable environment is unhealthy and at best case miserable for the fish. I mean, it's bad enough they already spend their life in a few cubic inches. Teach your child a different lesson - one that shows that it's better to show empathy for animals than allow them to suffer for your amusement.
I have raised fresh and saltwater fish for decades - always raised never plucked naturally and always with massive tank sizes. An RV is no place for a fish. When you plan your routes - include visits to aquariums instead.
Excellent advice. Some creatures shouldn't be bounced around in a moving vehicle.
