Camper seat belts

Has annyone had any experience with law enforcement regarding passengers in a camper. In searching the California DMV web site the only items I came accross was:

A means of signaling the driver from the camper.
An exit from the camper accessable from inside or outside the camper.
A federally approved restraint system.

The first two are easy. The last one is confusing. I have seen people using camper shell carpet kits that seems to get passed the CHP officer. I am guessing if I get and install seatbelts that are federally approved, I am OK?

I don't plan on having passengers normally but just trying to cover the bases in case I end up in a situation with passengers in the camper.
