MH or 5th
I read many threads on this forum and elsewhere. I guess most people buying either will have to do research on this. I want to ask it from the safety point of view. From the reading it seems MH ...

It is not foolish to think of safety,but the vast majority of vehicle crashes are intersection incidents. In this case most Class A will fair well (except by IIHS standards*) in that the impinging vehicle is most likely to be a passcar and it will hit too low to seriously injure* the occupants of a Class A.
The real advantage to a Class A only exists if you are travelers and not campers. When traveling, there is a lot more room for the navigator to work and refreshments can be had by sending the non-driver aft to fetch same.
I also love that when the driving day is done, I set the suspension to make the coach level (it isn't really automatic)and turn off the ignition. Then evening begins.

*The standards that they have set prefer the death of the occupant to a lower leg injury as that form of injury can cause very expensive long term disability. It all depends on what you value most.
