I really just don't understand why life safety laws are such a hard concept to grasp.
If you build a S & B's it has to comply with building code, electrical code, etc., etc., and those are in form a permit which has been signed off on.
If you drive a vehicle on public roads it must be built to a certain safety standards, the FMVSS, the proof of that compliance is a manufacturers certification label in the drivers door jamb.
An RV, a vehicle / living quarters hybrid, must conform to BOTH of those type of safety standards with its tires. wheels, brakes, hitch frame, 120 volt electrical system, propane system, fire egress, etc., etc., etc.......
Actually, :D there is no way my home built in 1942 would ever comply with modern building codes and trying to bring it up to those standards would cost more then the house is worth and I would end up living in my camper.
My older vehicles might have been built to the standards for the date of their manufacture but, would not be up to today's standards.
My 1993 Travel Trailer is probably not up to code anymore either.
Kay sir rah sir rah. Whatever will be, will be. (Doris Day sang that I think didn't she ??)
