I always notice that when choosing new RV, the safety is never mentioned.
I did lot of research years ago as traveling in family of 5 - safety was always on my mind.
When you drive a pickup, pulling a trailer you have full pickup safety cage (whatever it is worth as F150 are historically the deadliest vehicles on the planet).
Any designated RV has frame with ZERO crash or roll-over resistance.
That include even $400k DP.
ClassC will give you some protection in original cabin, but the cabin is cut, so the rating is lost.
Any passengers in the rear of ClassC seat in dead trap if something happens.
