Walk around while Class C in motion?

[knowmadically]

I'm thinking about getting a Class C motor home. Do most of you require that your passengers stay seated and buckled up? Or do you let your passengers walk around while the vehicle is in motion? What about children or babies? Do you have them in carseats?

Just curious what the general practice is among those of you with a Class C and what your thoughts on safety are. Also, are there legal requirements?

I've done it but don't recommend it.

Here in SC and I suspect all states, people are to be seated and belted while a vehicle is in motion, assuming there are sufficient belted seats for all occupants. It would be a falsehood should I tell you that we obey that law.

Wife does get up and retrieves sodas from the refrigerator, or uses the bathroom while we travel, I would not recommend children from running around if they need to use the bathroom pull over, a small child becomes a projectile very fast not worth a trip to the emergency room, have the little ones on the proper child seats.

Most RV's have seat belts for all seats, mine does so use them for all persons, big and small they may not be required in all States other than the front seats why risk an injury.

Its one of the advantages to any self-powered RV. The ability for a co-pilot or navigator to use the kitchen, refrigerator or restroom or whatever while traveling. We do not recommend any type of actual cooking, especially involving heat due to the chance of spillage. All it needs is a good balance, and be sure to hold on the something at all times. We do use the microwave for a quick warm-up occasionally.

Many states have laws requiring that all occupants be belted in place while the vehicle is in motion, while some only require that those in the front seat remain belted in.

Just for safety we stay belted in, although the dogs are in harnesses, thay are not usually belted in.

If we need to move around, I pull into a rest stop or parking lot.
