Why don't OEMs merely offer the option of dual in-tank fuel pumps - operating in parallel with each other? The chances of both letting you down at the same time are infinitely less than one letting you down.
$$$$
Ford - for instance - offers all kinds of non-standard $$$$ options for it's E350/E450 series of vans used under various commercial service applications ... dual in-tank electric fuel pumps for ultra reliability could be one of them. If available for motorhomes, I'd pay for dual in-tank fuel pumps in a heartbeat whenever buying a new Class B/C motorhome built on one of Ford's van chassis.
P.S. #1: I would have paid extra $$$$ for a limited slip differential and dual alternators, too, if Winnebago/Ford had offered the combination when we bought our new E450 based Itasca motorhome.
P.S. #2: I would have paid extra $$$$ for the good old easy to access individual/separate engine equipment drive belts instead of a hard to get at and snake around pulleys single serpentine belt, too ... so that if a belt broke you would only be partially disabled instead of completely disabled like you are with a busted serpentine belt.
