I travel all over the US which is why I suggested purchasing the book in my first post. Here is a link and consider your RV a vehicle, which is what California will consider it:
California Firearm laws


I only travel inside California and occasionally Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Those states are not as strict as California. Upthread someone suggested that when driving the vehicle laws are applicable but when camped the RV is treated as a domicile.

The link I gave you answered that question by clicking on the Firearm laws pdf on the right.

Unless otherwise unlawful, any person over the age of 18 who is not prohibited from possessing firearms may have a loaded or unloaded firearm at his or her place of residence, temporary residence, campsite, or on private property owned or lawfully possessed by the person. Any person engaged in lawful business (including nonprofit organizations) or any officer, employee, or agent authorized for lawful purposes connected with the business may have a loaded firearm within the place of business if that person is over 18 years of age and not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. (Pen.
Code, §§ 25605, 26035, and 26055.)
NOTE: If a person’s place of business, residence, temporary residence, campsite, or private property is located within an area where possession of a firearm is prohibited by local or federal laws, such laws would prevail.

CA your RV is your Domicile. How you store it is up to you IMHO as no one needs to see what you do inside your HOME.

Asking about gun carry advice on RV.net is tantamount to asking safe sex advice at a home for unwed mothers. It's quick, but usually sketchy advice.

Even the judges in this state don't know the laws about them.

They are learning quickly do to Boland v Bonta and others.

Thoughts:

- Gun threads never last long here. They bring out the nuts on both sides.

- Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and statistically you'll probably get correct answer here but good luck figuring out which one of the responses is correct.

- California is not a 2A friendly state.

- I would look for advice from reputable 2A sources like the NRA where they cite their sources and authorities, and then I would keep copies of these materials with me just in case I needed to justify my actions to anyone.

- And sadly, as much as I love CA, you're probably better off crossing the state off your itinerary if you're traveling with firearms.
