As this will be our inaugural West Coast road trip in our new motorhome. I do not intend to carry any pistols on my person, but I am considering including one or two in my initial packing for a 6 month visit to the West Coast. Our FBO will be Crescent City, CA and Brookings Harbor, OR. I anticipate carrying no more than 5K in cash plus the usual credit cards while staying in Good Sam type places. Our experience as adults has been limited to a few weeks of rental traveling in VA and NC.
I have some experience traveling with my parents as a teenager in their motorhome. Dad always kept at least one pistol at hand, both at home and on the road; he was old school and always carried a pocket knife too. We lived on a small ranch out in the sticks of Lake County, CA the closest neighbor was 3/4 mile away.
My research reveals various rules for each state, often with conflicting regulations regarding weapons on board. Some states treat a motorhome as a domicile while others a vehicle with different rules for each. So I thought I would seek the collective wisdom of the group.
