Safety/crashes: Been RVing since the early 80's. Pickup truck/TT. (3) Now...a motorhome (for my retirement and probably my last RV) pulling a toad 4dwn.
I don't think anybody buys any RV with "safety" in mind. It's really buy what you want, buy what you can afford and buy what you think would serve your needs best.
EVERYTHING has wrecks: airplanes, buses, cars, motorcycles, and RVs of any kind. Even slipping in your own bathtub. So...stop this worry (paranoia?) about the very small chance (of crashing) and what you cannot control and live a little bit!
(When I took out insurance for the first time on my then-brand new motorhome, I was astounded as to how cheap it was...compared to my car insurance. Agent said...it was all in the numbers. Motorhome people do not wreck 'em.)
So very true. I'll try to be as careful as reasonably possible, but when Vanna buys a vowel the puzzle has been solved.
I'd rather just enjoy the ride.

You need to learn to see what is important.
No matter how nasty the above pictures look, please notice that in all those crash vehicles passenger cage is mostly intake.
Bus passengers don't use seat belts and that sometimes bring fatality, but I would be not surprised if from all those accidents people walk away.
Now observe how much passenger cage holds on average ClassA.
I get your point, however. Just think you could have found a better photo to illustrate it.
Also true. The other issue with these types of pictures is how much of the damage shown was done after the accident, during the recovery process.
