Highway Safety Ratings
We are in the early stages of shopping for our first class A motorhome. Where can I find the highway safety ratings for motorhomes? Thank you in advance for your help. Christian

Greetings All,
I just have weigh in on this conversation.
First, we have a 30ft Barth motorhome. If you check out this manufacturer's history (http://www.tincantourists.com/wiki/doku.php?id=barth) you will see that their product was overbuilt in some regards and built as motorhome should be in others. The Barth is built with all metal: steel and aluminum with rivets-very stout and solid. The only wood and fiberglass in our Barth is cosmetic and interior.
It's center of gravity is lower than other mhs and is designed to be more stable and surefooted.
We'll stay with it.
I can only say that everyone who is looking for their wanderdream mh needs to research and discover what each of the manufacturers offer. Like anything, it's very personal and, here, we're talking about overall safety. So, become a study on the vehicle's construction meeting the demands and criteria for it's purpose just as you would anything thing else.
The nice thing about doing this is during the process, it's discovered what actual fit is to be had-heard many stories about this happening when folks investigated and realized what type of mh they really wanted.
These vehicles are handicapped before they leave the driveway by size, weight, cumbersomeness and slowness. So, with this in mind, go slower and enjoy the experience.
Happy Trails-
