As I was thinking about a Class A or Class C, I guess this is an issue to think about it.
Yes If you are concerned a lot about safety a C will meet "van" safety standards, an A not so much. The A has more Mass so can tend to push lighter objects out of the way and that's good. However, I've had the opportunity to witness some RV crashes in all the years I drove Truck and the A doesn't fair well in a major crash. Not only does the fiberglass give a lot, All those cabinets and furniture (on tha point same with the C) tend to end up in the drivers area.I saw and assisted at a few wrecks I came upon. Most came out ok but there were a couple of them that weren't good to look at.Almost all had major interior disarray. But the same can be said of the many big truck accidents Thank Goodness none involved me personally.
Even seeing all that, I still Drive and enjoy the class A that I have and don't think about it much! If I did obsess too much I'd just Fly (safer) and stay in hotels but the trade off is worth it to me!
