Not much difference running around in a MotorHome while flying down the Highway.
Ummm....Yes, there is a huge difference.
Look at the chassis a Motorhome is built on, and compare it to the chassis RV trailers are built on. Notice also how much higher up the occupants of a Motorhome sit, vs a trailer. Notice also how much heavier a Motorhome is than a typical RV trailer.
I won't argue that overall, you are a little safer in a pickup truck towing an RV trailer than in a Motorhome. However, to suggest that riding in an RV trailer with its flimsy, low to the ground chassis is not much different than riding in a Motorhome built on a heavy duty diesel pusher chassis or Ford F53 heavy duty truck chassis.....Wellll, is just plain wrong, to put it nicely.
If you are talking big diesel pushers on tour bus chassis...you have a point. Though that height makes a roll over more problematic.
Run of the mill Class C or lower tier Class A...no, they disintegrate in crashes just like trailers.
