The egress window requirement is specified by the NHTSA.....not the RVIA. There are records of recalls at NHTSA where RV manufacturers were required to replace standard sliding or
Awning windows with egress type windows. Keystone knows those requirements which they have to meet when they slap the certification label on the side. You need to send your concern to the NHTSA......but Keystone more than likely has already done their homework.
We had a 2013 Keystone Passport Hybrid. On a Hybrid the bunk tents are each an emergency exit as the end window screen is also zippered. Keystone was called out and still had to do a recall and add an emergency type window in the box area due to the dinette and jacknife sofa being able to be used as a sleeping area. The only window that met the size requirement was the window behind the sink so thats where they put the egress window.
So while your ass was in flames you needed to climb over the counter and sink while breaking off the faucet, then you could attempt to squeeze through that small window and drop about 6' while upside down, right on your noggin. It was designed for the Wallendas.
