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...

Yup, grew up riding up in the overhead of my dad's TC; best view in the house for traveling!
My kids have ridden in the overhead of my Class C a few times when they were younger, but it is usually loaded with "stuff" while driving (the bags from their significant others, pillows, sleeping bags, etc) now, and they are older and don't care so much about the "cool" factor.
Many class Cs now have heavy entertainment systems and storage there instead of a bed, so the weight (static vs dynamic) is likely a moot point. It would be extremely rare for road debris heavy enough to go through the window to be high enough to do so. And realistically, nowhere in an RV other than the driver/passenger seat is likely very "safe" in a major accident.
BTW, bukhrn, on the road that I grew up on, the County would spray oil, then spread gravel on top, and allow the vehicle traffic to work it into the existing pavement. THAT was how they repaved the road every couple of years!
