Re: Terrible Accident

Those photos make me wonder if there are any standards or government regulations for building motorhomes. That thing came apart - I doubt a Greyhound bus would have done that.

Re: Terrible Accident

I agree on the standards Charlies but lets keep the government out of it. Heck this group here should start an RVUSA Standards and Guide Manual for the RV industry's. ;) :approve: :cool:

Re: Terrible Accident

"Anything" versus a semi-truck generally ends up a dead on loser for "Anything" and a bad day for the semi. In my military career I have driven some things that could take on a semi and win, but they wouldn't make very good campers and all got terrible gas mileage.
But, more to the point, could RV crashworthiness standards be improved? Undoubtedly. But, will the RV industry do it on their own? Probably not. And if they did, would we the RVers be willing to pay for the increased safety standard? Who knows?
Bottom line is we all need to be very, very careful out there and not over-drive our physical and mental abilities. As Clint Eastwood said," A man has to know his limitations."

Last night north of Louisville, KY on I-65 north and RV ran into the rear of a semi parked on the side of the interstate. Evidently, the driver nodded off, it was white line gone and he struck the rear of the semi trailer. The impact split the RV in half, half went inside the trailer and half ended up on the interstate.

The passenger was killed.

Judging from what was left, it appeared to be a fairly late model class A towing an SUV. Here's a link:
