I've recently come across some state and federal laws that make that somewhat iffy. They state that a home is a fixed dwellling, which would seem to mean a permanent building, but don't explain exactly what a fixed dwelling is or whether an RV qualifies.
Yeah, that's one reason why I noted that when the Rv is moving it is primarily considered a "vehicle" rather than a "home". When it is parked and you "reside" in it, it is arguably a home, subject to court interpretation of a host of factors that might apply in any individual situation. That certainly does make it "iffy"and I wouldn't choose to bank my own personal freedom on it!
Court rulings have generally held that laws requiring a fixed abode are discriminatory, at least with respect to itinerant people. Whether the same would apply to someone who owned a fixed dwelling but was temporarily elsewhere is another matter that I won't speculate upon.
