I would guess that a pickup alone is far safer in a crash than a MH. Trucks are tightly regulated and constantly tested. I don't know of any crash test for a MH or any regulation to mandate crash performance. I've seen crash photos of both and a MH tends to literally get torn apart. That said, I am not sure a truck/trailer combo is safer. You are compounding all kinds of forces on a truck with the addition of a trailer and it completely changes the game. I've seen where a trailer actually caused a rollover of both vehicles. Stopping distance is lessened and it's a consumer controlled coupling system as opposed to a fully contained and manufactured MH. So things can go wrong more often with the hookup and tow of a trailer and the variables increase exponentially. RV's in general, towable or motorized are unsafe in a crash. I wish there was more oversight into this. Of course that adds money to the bottom line. Just my thoughts.
