I apologize for my insensitive remarks above and wish you well in your travels.
We put 11,000 miles through 14 states on our RV last summer without mishap and never stayed in a Wal-Mart, a highway rest area or a Truck Stop. We look for state and NFS or BLM campgrounds. Wherever you stay, "situational awareness" is paramount. Granted, I was quite uncomfortable being unarmed in Kalifornia, Oregon and Washington but we made it.
Happy Trails...

Let's say that my trip takes me through NY. I'm going to have to rely on Federal firearms transport rules to get me through.
I'm thinking that one of these

What should I use for a lockable ammo case? Keep in mind that RVs don't have a lot of space and that I'm trying to keep the weight down, too. Just "getting by" is OK by me.
I'm assuming that if lockable cases are stored someplace back in "house" area of the RV, I'm OK. Unfortunately, there is hardly a place in that house area were I couldn't get to in a few seconds, assuming that I'm stopped and have left the driver's area. This is one of those gray areas about RVs, particularly motor homes, were "not accessible to the driver" isn't even as clear cut as it is in an SUV where you either have to get completely out of the vehicle or crawl over seats to get to the back.
I'm sure that this is probably a HBL type topic (see CHL and RVs for explanation) but wanted some input anyway.
Enough already. The answers to many of your questions can be found on http://www.handgunlaw.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you're still concerned, you can stay home. If you're more worried about collateral damage than family protection, don't shoot and stay home. If you can't figure out how to stock your motor home, you're not ready to go on a trip and should stay home.
