And people, there is such thing as "motor vehicle exception", and that includes RVs and trailers (being pulled by semis) first established by the Supreme Court in 1925 that motor vehicles can be subject to warrantless search. You in effect impliedly waived your rights to be searched without warrant upon purchase of the vehicle.
Your statement is only partially true though isn't it. You conveniently left out the bit _requiring_ the officer to have probable cause and said probable cause is reliant upon RAS, (Reasonable, Articulable Suspicion). Thus the officer needs to be able to explain to you why he intends to search and that explanation must be "reasonable".
Tell me which of these can't be checked in the box of probably cause for OP's RV inspection:
1. Passing by a state with insect or agricultural virus infestation.
2. Insect hitch-hikers.
3. Fruits, vegetable, plant, soil, fungus, non native aquatic species, infected wood, firewood from infected tree species...
4. Wildlife products banned in the state.
