This has been one thing running through my mind since our new DP purchase last month. Now the dually we had was engineered to adsorb (as all cars & trucks)a collision. The energy transfer in modern ca...

The reason for starting this thread is from my little understanding of automobile engineering and the collision survivability compared to diesel pushers.DP's do not fair as well as cars or P/U's towing trailers IMHO.
