I was going to say the value of an RV in an accident depends on many things. Including what you value the most.
For example I'm driving a 24,000 pound HOUSE and my feet are about the height of the roof on most cars.. So if some idiot in say a Dodge Neon (2500 pounds and the car I used for the height compairson) slamms into me he's going to go directly under my feet. and do relative minor damage to the RV.. Thus I should, in theory, walk without a scratch since I believe strongly in seat belts and the driver's seat is well protected from flying "Contents" (Solid wall behind me).
Thus I'd say the value of the RV in such a crash is IMMENSE.
Rear ending a steel hauler.. Not so much.
