I have had front blowouts in a class-C twice!
Never had any issues with van doing anything except make a very, very loud boom.
I kept motorhome driving perfectly straight and had no issues controlling it or steering it to the side of the road.
I suspect that is is not the flat tire causing the vehicle to wander, but the driver jerking the wheel from shock and being untrained, or mentally unprepared to handle anything unusual that might happen on the road.
I have a hard time believing that the motor home, on its own, jerked to the side like that. I would have to see a simultaneous camera inside showing the driver to believe this was not driver caused.
Yes, if you did not have your hands on the steering wheel then this is possible, but holding the wheel straight will keep the steering straight enough, period. Some correctional steering will be necessary, but is not difficult at all, no different in my experience, than hitting a deep patch of water on one side.
