go ahead try exercising what you think your rights are under that decision. If the officer stopped you he/she had probable cause to stop you. May have been something as minor as crossing a center line or wandering off the side of roadway. Give him/her a ration of feces and see how fast your anal orifice is behind the cage and on your way to jail. Your MH will also go to jail where it will be searched and inventoried to the inth degree. The lawyers in our presence give bad advice on the web.
Run your mouth go to jail.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

RODRIGUEZ v. UNITED STATES
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
No. 13–9972. Argued January 21, 2015—Decided April 21, 2015
I bring this up because a couple posts talked about an officer wanting to search your MH. An officer must have probable cause to search without permission, without this permission anything found is inadmissible in court. Refusing permission to search is not probable cause.
The recent USSC case I referenced actually pertains to an officer forcing a driver to wait while a "drug dog" is brought in to sniff for drugs. Rodriguez was stopped for a traffic offence but let off with a warning but forced to wait for a "drug dog" that alerted on the vehicle. Yes, drugs were found but the USSC ruled the offender should have been allowed to go as soon as the reason for the original stop was resolved. Jim.
And nobody said anything different if you were referring to me.
Hard to imagine I got through 5 pages of this surprisingly civil thread.
I take great exception to the comment "run your mouth, go to jail"
Running my mouth is a constitutional right. Along with freedom from unreasonable searches and of course the 2nd amendment.
And no, no LEO will be entering my coach without towing it to a yard, arresting me, and coming up with a search warrant, or probable cause that a specific crime has been commited. It's just not going to happen.
Do RVers ever actually get pulled over?
I never have. Hope I never do.
I agree with you about that comment. I don't agree with you about your view of searching the motorhome. Hopefully it will never happen to you, but if I did I was suggest you verbally protest the search and take no other action as you would lose that battle. There is already case law that says a MH is a vehicle when on the road. That means it is searchable just like a vehicle and that means a warrant is almost never required, just probable cause.
