This is a reminder on why I purchased a Prevost. From RVTravel.com:

"If you need a reminder to drive safely with your RV, the photo in this article might help. This accident occurred on I-90 near Moses Lake, Wash. In this instance, the frame of the RV did little to protect it from near-total destruction. A trooper at the scene said it appeared the motorhome crashed into the SUV and that alcohol was a factor."

It's always so sad to see these accidents. This is clearly why a Prevost is a safer choice than a RV built on a rolling chassis. Other than seat belts and windshields, here's the extent of what is typically subject to federal safety standards on a traditional RV.

I always point this out to those trying to decide between a new traditional Class A motorhome or a 10 year old Prevost.
