Cars & trucks are legally required to meet certain standards and bear proof of same, that’s the VIN plate inside the drivers door jamb.
Nobody will ever ask you if your car is legal because they know it was built to FMVSS standards.
With RV’s it’s the same thing, when it’s a unit manufactured by one of the mainstream manufacturers compliance with the applicable life safety requirements is a given. When it’s a former School or Shuttle Bus, cargo van or trailer, there’s no such assurances.
