You may be overthinking this. The question is, which are you more likely to die in? Which one has more deaths per 1,000,000 passenger miles, the MH or the truck / trailer?

If you use that definition, it encompasses both accident survival and accident prevention.

That still won't tell you anything other than one may have higher stats than the other. Too many variables to be taken into account. Motor homes may have a higher accident rate because the drivers tend to be older adults who have the disposable income to afford them. Truck and trailers may have a higher accident rate because they may be driven by younger more impulsive drivers.

Deaths/1,000,000 miles will only tell you 1 thing: one has more deaths/1,000,000 miles.
