I understand that it's not allowed for trailers, but how about 5th wheel trailers. Do you need some kind of communication device? I've always wondered about taking a nap while on the road...hmmmmm Patty P Larry & Patty Palmer with Bonnie Jo Camarillo, CA 2001 F350 V10 Short box Pulrite 16K Superglide 2004 Keystone Laredo 25RL dylansmom • View posts Sioux Falls, SD (Fulltiming, could be anywhere) Senior Member Joined: 09/14/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 07/07/04 07:23pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I think it is legal in some states, but it is dangerous and not a smart idea in ALL states.

Why would you want someone to ride in your 5ver??? Seatbelts????????? An RV will explode if involved in a collision.KB 2003 Chevy.

It was so comfortable and easy to do. I guess it would be rather bumpy in the 5th wheel trailer...I know that stuff bounces around in there while we're driving. I probably would never actually "do" it, but I was curious about the laws and such...
