Can You Pass Through States with Stay at Home Orders?

We are thinking of heading to our boat for the summer in the epicenter of the virus. Taking it away from there and quarantining ourselves on it for the summer.

We are in Florida and are looking at going to NYC.

Delaware, for example, has a stay at home order.

Can we drive through Delaware then store the RV in NJ or should we expect to be stopped? I don't understand how this all works for travelers as it's all worded to people living in houses.
  • hundreds jailed for stay at home orders? Cite please

    Is the place you're planning to go in NY open?

    MI stay at home order excludes outdoor activities???!!!
  • Give it a shot.. let us know if you make it through... You'll be the expert, and the guinea pig.

    Seriously, not sure how anyone on the RV forums would be qualified to answer this.. nor would I encourage you to follow any advice you get, other than the stay home advice.

  • I don’t think anyone can answer that. This is all new territory to everyone including those making the proclamations. Call ten authorities in Delaware and probably get ten different answers.

    I wouldn’t think they would be stopping out of state RVs passing thru on the highways. But who knows.
  • They've taken hundreds to jail for violating the stay at home orders. If I were you I wouldn't chance it. Bypass Delaware and any other state that will confine you for being out and about. Better yet, stay in Florida.
  • “I don't understand,” meaning YOU don’t understand, is an understatement of epic proportions.

    “in the epicenter of the virus” This is based on?
  • Have you been completely out of touch? Travel to NY when you don’t need to travel risking the health of others and yourselves? Keeping “looking” and STOP considering unnecessary, and I mean UNNECESSARY,” travel.
