A vehicle is not "premises." Building and land are premises. The law allows the same exceptions for recreational vehicles with living quarters as for residences.
However, you can legally carry a handgun in a vehicle as long the handgun is concealed. That right will become better-defined on September 1.
If you are going to carry only in a vehicle, you can also carry a shotgun or carbine and avoid any possible misunderstanding about handguns.
