Sit/sleep in over cab while driving?
Is it safe to relax in the over cab area of a class c while driving? Aside from the obvious (laws, fly out the front in a wreck, fall down etc) is there any danger? Such as the roof collapsing or some...

It's kind of strange...
you'd think that anywhere there are belts it's safe to ride. not usually true, as they say front facing is the best/safest way to ride. Obviously any lap belts in the dinette are going to be of limited help.
However Minnesota, as an example, allows you to ride in a trailer, truck camper, or fifth wheel. Knowing that no RV's have shoulder belts unless you're in the cab of a class A, B, or C... it's surprising.
I spent a lot of my youth riding in the cabover area of Dad's Minnie Winnie with my sister. Dad was usually not in a hurry, never really went over 55. And we rode that way in the early/late 70's both up and back down the Alcan (whatever it's called now) highway when it was dirt and potholes.
Guess it depends on what you would think is safe. I don't know that I'd put my grandkids up there now.
