I also don't think any class A has airbags. First, the steering wheels usually are not in a position to protect the driver as the steering wheels are angled more flat (horizontal to the floor).
One thing that lead us to a Prevost chassis is the protection in the front. We have real front and rear bumpers and our chassis is DOT certified. The front end has steel bars that run under the windshield. Also, having a split windshield also offers front-end support and rigidity.
Our generator is located about halfway down on the driver's side.
The chances that we are ever in a crash are rather minimal. I'm sure most of you have seen traditional motorhomes in a crash, they seem to simply fall apart as the house is attached to the chassis. Prevosts are built as one unit.
It certainly doesn't mean a Prevost can't be crushed, but the robust chassis offers greater protection.
I've chatted several Prevost owners that decided to go with an older Prevost vs. buying a new conventional motorhome for the sturdiness and protection that they offer.
