So, looking at a Class A, but concerned about the crash safety of the driver/passenger cell of a Class A. With no passive restraints (air bags) and no formal crash testing, it's tough to convince the wife that we should go Class A instead of Class C.
Is there any data that shows that any particular Class A manufacturer is "better" than others when it comes to the "safety cell" for driver/passenger?
Fyi, we're looking at late-model gas coaches, 32 feet or so.
And while you and others, with these same concerns, very well could be driving a little car for a DD and for a toad, as well.
Let's face it, getting out there on the highway these days in anything, is one of the most dangerous undertakings, that one can possible do and will probably be looked at, as unbelievable in a hundred years or much less. Probably on parallel with going into space with the first rocket launches.
Back to today's reality's, IMO, the Class A bus look, is king, both inside and out and would never drive something that looks like an afterthought. Besides you need a large windshield for viewing America and beyond.
