New to Class A RVs--Driver comfort & safety features?

Hi All, I'm just starting to look at Class As and moving out of a truck and travel trailer combination. Do the captain chairs have heated and cooled seat options like in cars and trucks? We like the feature and wondering if this exists. Also what kind of driver safety features do the As have apart from seat belts? I realize that riding up high in a big rig you may not need them, but do safety air bags exist?
Thanks in advance for your assistance. -L.
  • Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I too thought I'd never use the cooled seats in our F-150 but now I think it's a fantastic feature and helps cool us off quickly without the need to blast the A/C. I'm surprised that the As don't have them.
  • I believe that most, if not all American Coach products have heated and massage seats. Our 06 Heritage has heated and massage seats with at least 9 massage settings for each front seat. For safety, we also have VORAD collision avoidance system.
  • I think I would like ventilation in my seat, just air from around the seat.

    Ours are heated and they have a massage mode, but honestly I've never used either. First I never go anywhere where I would need a heated seat. We like warm. And secondly, we always keep the MH temperature quite livable. I'd never need the seat only cooled. We do have seat belts although not 3 point and we have no air bags. No MhH I've ever owned has had air bags. We weigh a lot. It would take something to stop us short enough to trigger airbags. We do have an Isri air ride seat which keeps me pretty comfortable.


    A Prevost is about a cool million dollars. I would have expected more than heated seats.

    Heck my new Cherokee has heated and cooled seats.

  • Most of them don't have heated and cooled seats. Although i'm sure you can have them installed for a lot of money. They don't come with airbags, seat belts are the only safety feature. Some have anti-lock brakes, some don't. If you want airbags, maybe look at a class C, as most of those would have airbags.
