Is it legal to go through an interstate highway without enough seat belts?
For example, 6 people total, but RV has 5 seat belts only. Go from GA to VA, going through SC and NC.
Suppose:
SC and NC required all occupants to wear seat belts.
GA and VA do not required passengers (above certain age) in back seats to wear seat belts.
It is not easy to ask dealer/auto shop to install additional seat belts because of liability issue. Any solutions?

It's just like you stated...State by State and does it apply to motorhomes, that probably varies too.
Several states sill allow people to ride in a travel trailer or fifth-wheel while on the road. Would I let my kids or friends ride in them. NO!
One would assume if you can ride in a TT or FW you could be in a MH without a seatbelt.
States That Allow Riders In Travel Trailers: Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas*, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and North Carolina.
States That Allow Riders In 5th Wheel Trailers: Arizona, California*, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas*, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon*, Pennsylvania*, South Dakota*, West Virginia and Wisconsin*.
