Can you ride in a 5th wheel camper while driving?

I’m going on a road trip with my boyfriend in a few months and we’re using a 5th wheel camper. Will I be able to sleep in our 5th wheel while we’re driving? I get bad back pain on long car trips and that would help.

Even if you’re driving through a state that allows passengers in a 5th wheel camper, however, doing so can be dangerous. Since they aren’t intended for travel, 5th wheel campers typically don’t have seatbelts. This means that in the event of an accident, you would be significantly more likely to be injured or killed. As such, it’s usually best to stay in a car seat while you’re driving.
When you take a long road trip like this, it’s also a good idea to prepare by getting a good insurance policy.
