Thanks everyone for the replies! I appreciate the feedback.
I'm not particularly worried about it. We've full-timed since 2015 with only two accidents. Both of them were caused by very sneaky stumps that just ran up and punched my bumper in a campground. I did nothing to deserve it.
The reason I was asking is because we have a baby who will soon be old enough that he doesn't have to ride in a rear-facing car seat. He's young enough that it's still recommended, though.
I've been mulling over which is more dangerous in the case of an accident...the risk to his head and neck if he's facing forward, or the risk to his face if we were rear-ended.
After looking at lots of pictures and reading this thread I think we'll stick with rear facing.
Oh, and if--God forbid--the worst should happen, I'm not going to come running back here saying "so and so said it could never happen" lol. I was just wondering if it's something people have seen or heard of.
Aridon, this is very off topic, but I'm curious what you think about the 4.10 gears on your 2018 Ram. We just bought a 38 foot Momentum 354M. We're about 16k fully loaded. I'm planning to upgrade to a Ram 2018 3500 DRW Laramie. I'm leaning towards the 4.10 gears. I value power over mileage. But I'd love to know what your experience has been.

But why worry, if it happens, it happens. No amount of worry will keep something like that from happening. Do the best you can and let the what-ifs fall away beside you. Life is too short to worry excessively, and especially about thing over which you have no control.
