Well, you really need to define "safer". If you mean in a collision, you will be safer in a truck.
The truck has to meet very stringent safety requirements for the passenger compartment. A class A does not have those same requirements because they are limited production specialty vehicles.
A class C would also be safer in a collision than an A for the same reasons although the C is less safe than the truck. The class C has a regulated passenger compartment but it loses to the truck due to the C being open to the living compartment.
If you mean safer as to bad guys in a bad environment at night, the MH is safer because it allows you to drive away without exiting the vehicle.
This.
