I think it was “Knapptime” that moved a crossmember or two to install a water tank between the frame.

Thought about a gun safe but figured the jurisdictional issues with crossing state lines wouldn’t be worth it. For hand guns that is.

There is case law that essentially dictates that any motorhome constitutes both a vehicle and a home, and that the privacy/4th Amendment laws apply to the contents of a motorhome.

Essentially, only the immediate vicinity/reach of the driver constitutes the 'vehicle' portion of an RV, but that could be enough to generate probable cause if they "smell something funny".

Additionally, any kind of locked container would additionally require a search warrant to get into.

But of course, I am not a lawyer, and you should consult your local 'legal professional', lol.

Our build will have no access to the interior unless the passenger slides their seat back and lifts the fold down floor. The door will open but it's about a 4ft step up.
You're gonna need a warrant for that floor to come up.
Better yet, how about you stroll over here to the drivers window where you can speak with the operator. Oh there's traffic? Not my problem.
