Speeding in construction zones here will result in double the normal fines, but no confiscation that I've ever heard of. I've even known people whose licenses were suspended, but they got to keep their cars. Confiscation here is usually only for specific instances. If you're caught driving drunk they'll take you to jail and impound your car, but that's because you're in no condition to drive it. Cars caught with contraband are also impounded. In fact I'd say that cars are usually taken here only in situations where the driver is also impounded.
I'll bet this is a lot more about forcing the victims to spend their vacation money locally than it is about controlling speed on the highway. They are tied to their RV so if you immobilize it you immobilize their spending.
