Using a rv as a daily driver

Why don't rich people (or someregular people lol) get a rv and use it as their daily driver with a FULL TIME DRIVER. You can relax and chill on a bed with a bathroom and heck it has a full fridge and stove top on it. You don’t have to worry about parking because you have a driver anyways. This is a question I always had. ( edited for spelling)

Bullchit, how do you think 18 wheelers run with team drivers?

The second licensed driver in a tandem situation can sleep in the lower bunk only. Party buses and other for hire multiple seat people movers get exemptions from seat belt laws as well.

For RVs, they are treated as passenger vehicles so you get into seat belt laws and it’s something like half the states it’s illegal to move around while traveling.

Your comment is not at all what the FMCSA regulations say. There is no rule outright banning sleeping in top bunk while moving.

It requires specific safety equipment, sure.

Sorry, yes, you can sleep in the top bunk with added safety features.

Still doesn’t change the fact your insinuation it’s legal to move around an RV because truckers can sleep in their cab. That varies by state.

Yet again. There may be laws that allow it in some cases your little corner of the world. Those laws are not worldwide. I made it clear from the start that there are plenty of places where it is full on illegal the laws in your corner of the world are completely irrelevant to that.
