Originally, I was planning on taking the summer off in between jobs with my family to take them on a cross country trip and visit states and parts of the country we haven’t been before. Because it would be a lot of time in a vehicle for kids, I was thinking about using a big RV so they wouldn’t have to be strapped in the whole time.

I guess I didn’t understand the laws (or my parents) because growing up we would be moving around the RV while driving, although just to read books or go to the bathroom. It’s still kind of fuzzy to me because you can do that on buses.

Anyways, if we’re going to be spending weeks in a vehicle with kids, is this still the best way to go? Maybe buying an old school bus? Is this like a speed limit says 70, but cops only pull you over for going 90 thing?

And yes, it is something we would all like to do. We’ve done days long trips, just in the SUV, but I was trying to avoid that if possible.
