I would avoid it if it doesn't have duals in the rear.
We are able to travel in moderate to high sidewinds with excellent stability ... which I would not feel comfortable doing at all with only single rear wheels. Even if it has duals in the rear, I wonder how wide the rear wheels' stance is relative to how tall the coach box is? Some of the new high mileage Class C designs on the modern smaller/narrower chassis types still try to maintain full interior height on these chassis with their narrow rear wheel stance - which can make for an uneasy feeling of driving with a big sail when in high sidewinds. It may "be a safe design", but it sure may not feel like it.
