In TX., there ia an "open container" law; How does this work, if you are in your Motor-home ?

Filed under: motor home

I have a VERY LARGE Motor-home, with a complete bar in it.If I get pulled over, and they search my vehicle, will I get a ticket, or be arrested for any bottles that have been opened ?

You can’t drink and drive. Open containers do not apply to passengers in RVs, motor homes, or Limos.

Only if you’re drinking while driving it

huh – good question when you think about it….
In NJ, I have to make sure that the wine and beer are stashed in the trunk, particularly if they have already been opened. I could get ticketed even if a passenger is holding an open drink.

I would think that if the alcohol is in a LOCKED cabinet in your motor-home, it wouldn’t be an issue, but if is out/visible, then they might ticket you.

Call the TX police.

In a motorhome most laws state that you can not have any sort of alcohol within arms reach of the driver. Other than that it should be fine.
