I know in most states you can't ride in a trailer being towed, but if you have one of those gigantic, gas/diesel eating buses, you can run all around in it as long as you're not driving. I'm not even sure there are rules about your spouse, kids or other folks buckling up while you're sailing down the road.

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...
