I've read on this forum that Winnebago's are the only crash worthy Class A. The reason is a caged assembly construction, but this could be BS.
Many over on the Class C forum claim that this is why they own a C, the cutaway van chassis meets the DOT specs for front end crashes while the A's do not.
I don't think Winnebago's are built any different than anything in their class. Anytime that you build on top of a platform, like most motorhomes, they will come apart in a crash.
Some motorhomes might be a little stronger but they are still built on a platform chassis. Our 2008 Dynasty was stated as having a semi-monocoque chassis which probably gave it a little more rigidity but it didn't have real front and rear bumpers or really a steel cage as a whole unit.
Everybody be safe out there!
