It's depressing, yet all too common, that some people would go off subject to criticize a report of an accident. A 32K lb vehicle, of which probably 70% or more of the weight is below the floor line, flips over at a significant speed. The two occupants suffer only minor damages, and because some people don't own that brand of MH or any MH at all, they decide to weigh in on "poor construction". Would they have fared better in another brand MH? A car? I doubt it.
Are we looking at the same picture???? I don't know of ANY motorhome that has any form of roll cage construction. To my knowledge, we are all driving fiberglass with aluminum framing holding it up. If any of our rigs flips, we are in serious trouble. Our walls cannot hold the chassis up! I don't know how your takeaway was that someone was bashing the Tiffin brand and it's construction. I guess there is always someone waiting to be offended.
That was luck that they got out with minor injuries, not a "testament to the structure of the RV".
I will still let my wife get up and make sandwiches while driving. I will still let my kids use the bathroom while driving. I will NOT drive if I don't feel like I can be at 100%. That was my takeaway from seeing this and hearing the cause of it.
