What Are Some Types of RVs and Mobile Homes?
There are several types of mobile homes, any of which may be involved in a serious or fatal accident:
- Mobile homes are large vehicles that contain living accommodations, with sizes up to that of semi-truck trailers. Mobile homes are designed to be transported and placed down to stay in one place for an extended period.
- Recreational vehicles (RVs) are vehicles or trailers that are equipped with living facilities such as kitchens, showers, restrooms, and bedrooms. They are often towed by passenger vehicles or pick-up trucks and used for a variety of recreational activities.
- Campers are trailers that can be towed by other vehicles. They smaller than mobile homes and more portable, making them ideal for short-term camping trips.
Mobile homes are heavy, and especially dangerous, particularly when operated by an inexperienced driver. Some may even tow a smaller passenger vehicle, which can weigh between 2,800 pounds to 3,300 pounds. Add this to the weight of an average RV, which can reach up to 6,500 pounds, and you have a very heavy vehicle that can result in catastrophic collisions. The center of gravity of an RV is also higher than other vehicles, making it more difficult to control.
What Are Common Causes of RV Accidents?
Driving an RV requires a heightened awareness and competency in a driver, especially when driving on freeways or at higher speeds. Some of the common causes of RV collisions include:
- Driving too fast for road conditions
- Drug or alcohol-impaired drivers
- Fatigued driving
- Unbalanced or overloaded trailers
- Inexperienced drivers
- Faulty safety systems on vehicles, such as brakes or tire
