We cannot understand how a vehicle the size of a Class A can have only one door! Many folks are not physically able to dive out of a window emergency exit and could easily become trapped in an emergency. And as a driver I could not live without the ease of getting in and out of a driver's door. If we did ever look at "upsizing" I would never look beyond a Class C for the exit door reason alone, as appealing as some of the Class A features might be. Any comments?
many Class A's have a std or optional driver's door...which does absolutely no good if a fire occurs while the occupants are in the rear sleeping area. just as most apartments have but one entrance it's a calculated risk. our home has three exits...a front door, patio door and rear door...none of which would help us should a fire break out while sleeping. also a calculated risk.
Apartments generally have two means of egress unless they're in fireproof buildings or sprinklers are present.
