Not much difference running around in a MotorHome while flying down the Highway.

Ummm....Yes, there is a huge difference.

Look at the chassis a Motorhome is built on, and compare it to the chassis RV trailers are built on. Notice also how much higher up the occupants of a Motorhome sit, vs a trailer. Notice also how much heavier a Motorhome is than a typical RV trailer.

I won't argue that overall, you are a little safer in a pickup truck towing an RV trailer than in a Motorhome. However, to suggest that riding in an RV trailer with its flimsy, low to the ground chassis is not much different than riding in a Motorhome built on a heavy duty diesel pusher chassis or Ford F53 heavy duty truck chassis.....Wellll, is just plain wrong, to put it nicely.

Roflmao.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard today. And it’s been a bad day, so thanks for the laugh!
FYI, I wadded up a class A body and interior and packed it into a 20cy rolloff. Whole thing from the frame and drivetrain up, with a little cat 304 mini exc in about 4 hours. And occupant restraint is abysmal compared to passenger vehicles in most class As and Cs as well.
I hope you were being sarcastic and not serious…

...And I hope you realize you are making a serious 'straw man' argument here, by suggesting I said something that I did not, and proceeding to refute it.

Please read what I said again. I said very clearly, that you are indeed safer in a pickup truck than a Motorhome. No doubt a passenger car would be even safer in many ways. No argument there whatsoever.

The only thing I was taking issue with was the assertion that traveling in a class A was the same as traveling inside an RV trailer. That is all.

Yes, I'm sure you could wad up a totalled Class A body and interior pretty quickly and easily into a 20cy rolloff. However, keeping with the comparison we should here: I bet you could also wad up a totalled RV trailer into something even smaller, and even quicker.

Putting words in my mouth! I did NOT say they were the "same" as each other. I said "Not much difference". Anyone understanding the English language will not think that I said they were the same.

But hey your snarky reply was just a bit of free humor on the "RV.NET".

You said....."Wellll, is just plain wrong, to put it nicely"

Thanks!
