Travel restrictions
Does anyone know of a website that gives current information on each state's restrictions for entering the state? Thank you for any ideas?

Self quarantine doesn't mean you can't leave the trailer. It's just a recommendation that you should avoid public interaction. I don't see how it's feasible, we have the same thing in Michigan.
Folks from Detroit and Chicago coming up to their Lake Michigan cottages for the weekend are supposed to self qt for 14 days, well, they're here for three and the first thing they do is stop at the grocery store which is public interaction.
Traveling in an RV, if it's a bigger one maybe you could stock up with food and supplies, so you don't have to re-provision right away? This limits your public interaction.- K Charles, I found your post interesting. We are not thinking of leaving for a couple of months. I have been researching RV parks, and many of them are still open. Our goal is to go to national and state parks. We will not go if they are not open. When I read that Montana would want us to self quarantine for two weeks upon entering the state, I was concerned. Two weeks without leaving the trailer definitely would not be fun!!!!! Thank you for your post!

I think the constitution says unless you are a felon you are free to travel state to state. States can request but not restrict. But there may not be anything open when you get there.
An interesting subject, muddied by "states rights" of course...Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Since the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883)
