I think several states have laws against riding in an open
pickup bed, but I don't know that those laws apply to someone riding
inside a camper shell in/on a pickup bed. Inside a camper ought to
be about as safe as riding in the back of a van or station wagon, and
maybe safer than riding in a convertible, at least if the camper had
seat belts. Of course logic never stopped legislators from passing
stupid laws...
