Passenger in motor home seriously injured

Yup, a robust van chassis as the one in the pic looks like a 24' max length having the narrow van chassis ladder frame that's still a lot narrower at the dual rear wheels area. Terrible side protection for passengers as there's nothing to stop the inward crush. Has a GVW (max) of 11,000 lbs with dual rear wheels. Except when hit by anything it's own weight or an unloaded dump truck as it rolls over and over as stated in the article. Very tall and narrow little MH's. UPS is no longer buying the Sprinters as so many of their have rolled and the very poor maintenance cost/repair history accrued also.
Fast acceleration??? Ya right, 23 seconds to go from 0-60 with the basic unloaded bare bones model with the largest V-6 diesel engine available. 31.3 seconds at 11,000 lbs (GVW). How'd you like to enter a highway behind that very "fast" acceleration? God forbid if it's pulling anything! Road rage aggravation comes to mind. Been behind a few and know and we are mid 70's and not fast drivers at all!
