Can an Ignition Interlock be Installed in an RV?

When someone receives a DUI, they will usually be required to use an Ignition Interlock Device (IID). Ignition Interlocks are commonly used for sedans, trucks or SUV’s.

But can Ignition Interlocks also be used for RV’s?

Absolutely. Ignition Interlocks can be installed in any motor vehicle, RV’s included.

I Only Drive an RV – Can an Ignition Interlock Still Be Installed?

There’s no need to worry if you must install an Ignition Interlock to your RV. If an RV is your only vehicle, you’ll be able to still drive it with the IID installed. Smart Start’s service center technicians can install an Interlock on most vehicles, whether it’s a car, truck, bus or an RV. However, the issue is not if we can install the Ignition Interlock on your motor vehicle. The question is more toward whether your state will allow it or not per their Ignition Interlock regulations.

Some states’ Ignition Interlock regulations allow an exemption for employer-owned vehicles, as well. If you believe you qualify for this exemption, reach out to your Ignition Interlock program contact for more information.

Driving an RV for Vacation or Trips

If you have an Ignition Interlock in your vehicle that you drive regularly but have plans on using an RV for a trip, be cautious. Your first order of business is to ask your contact with your Ignition Interlock program if this is OK. You don’t want to violate any of your court or state-ordered requirements. This could include additional fees and/or a longer period of time with your Ignition Interlock.
