OK I'll bite. Point me to some published accident statistics by NHTSB, DOT, Insurance statistics, whatever, showing that having an additional full size rear door (in lieu of an alternate escape window) with electric extendable steps in a Class A motor home has saved lives. And please make sure you post how many lives it has saved over how many years.

If you really believed that your life was in eminent danger, would you get into a motor home, or any other form of transportation? Please, . . . . a little dramatic don't ya think? Seriously! You are still pursuing this to make your ridiculous point? Look up Turkish 981, and if you still want to argue, open a new thread.

:) I agree

A 737-900 has 8 exit doors, but somehow that never really offered me any confidence I was going to live!

better to have it than not.

Not necessarily.

If we are talking airplanes, many commercial airliners have hit the dirt as a result of door failures, so their surviving families would probably disagree with you.

On the MH I would be indifferent as to whether it was there or not, as long as I had some form of escape window. If it resulted in compromises to storage or other features, I would probably sacrifice the door for the other feature.

Do you have any citations where the failure of a plane's exit doors was considered the cause of the crash? I couldn't find any with a quick Google search. Closest was the failure of the cargo door on a cargo jet. It is my understanding that even if a door failed, it would not compromise the ability of a commercial jet to fly. It would be uncomfortable as heck for the passengers, but the structural integrity of the plane would not be in jeopardy.

Seriously? You still want to pursue this to make your ridiculous point? Turkish 981 for start. If you still want to argue, open a new thread with this new topic.

Sorry I offended you. I'll just leave your entirely unsubstantiated claims alone because when someone wants to make a point it is completely proper to just make things up.(sarcasm intended)
The flight you just cited was a cargo door on a plane (DC-10) that no longer is in commercial passenger service anywhere in the world. That crash occurred in 1974. But if you feel that airline emergency exit doors are a great threat to your personal safety you can always use some combination of driving, boating, swimming and walking to get to any destination in the world and avoid those deadly airplanes.
