I suppose if crash worthiness is an issue you would do well to buy a class "C". At least the chassis is crash tested and rated and built by a vehicle manufacturer to meet some safety standards.
I know folks often make the statement that their motorhome has a steel framed driver area. I doubt light weight 2" square tubing is much stronger than 2x3 wood framing. It's certianly not as strong as an engineered passenger space in a class "C" with hard point mounted seatbelts and airbags.
I've seen class "A" seat belts attached with lag bolts in 2x4's.
I wonder when something will be done about all the cell phone/texting distracted drivers on the road these days? How many have to die before our legislators say "enough" to the cell phone lobby? It would only take a simple software patch to at least disable texting when a modern GPS enabled cell phone is going more than x MPH. But that might hurt phone sales for Apple and others.
