New to RVing, concerned with safe traveling

Does everyone traveling with toddlers stop for bathroom breaks or can they run with mom to the bathroom and then get back to their seats like in flight bathroom breaks? Does anyone make sandwiches while moving? The sales people we spoke with all seemed to promote the idea of life at home Going on as usual just at 55 mph. They're talking about preparing meals, walking around, making a pot of coffee all while rolling to your destination. With our pooch too. It didn't sound really safe to us, but what do we know, we don't own an RV, never have, never even been in one rolling down the highway. So please excuse or ignorance. Again that's why were here asking questions. I suppose I need to see where the seatbelts are placed in the vehicles we'd consider, and probably show up at the dealer with our car seats to install to see them in action.

Personally, if an adult wants to get around and make a sammich, coffee, or sit on the dumper, they can make the choice to do so without me stopping if they tell me to keep going on - it's their life in their own hands. However, the child(ren), I, as the driver, am responsible for. If my daughter needs to go to the bathroom, the MH will make a stop.

Of course, a salesman will say all the things they need to say to make things seem ok. The capability is there to do all of that without stopping, for sure. Ultimately, it's up to you (or whoever else will be getting up and walking around) if you (they) want to take that risk. Probably 999 times out of 1000, there will be no issues or problems. But I certainly wouldn't want to have a look at the aftermath that 1000th time.
