This means that I am to seize the RV and apply for a search warrant if I have PROBABLE CAUSE to believe that a crime has occurred and evidence of the crime is in the RV.
Sorry, kind of off topic and certainly not helpful to the OP. Just thought it was interesting that there doesn't appear to be any case law one way or the other on this.
