Safety

[Mack Turner]

Just curious, I run into bluebird wander-lodge owners that tout the safety aspect of the wander-lodge and  claim to have a roll cage inside them which I was not aware of, how do our beavers stack up?

Mack safety in Class A is very limited.  Winnebago goes beyond with a drop test like bluebird and Wander-lodge depending on the age of our Beavers they are made with metal stringers like a plane, then a laminated luan plywood/faberglass in 2001 the products used are USA but today most class A plywood is PRC. I don't know if in todays manufacturing the factories may need to meet some type of fire code. On most of the RV's some crash testing is done but very limited unless it's a Class B

Mack,
Bluebird is a bus (school and commercial) maker. By design they are generally safer and sturdier than the avg RV as they have to meet stricter codes. That said, if Bluebird uses the same approach for the Wanderlodge, it is probably safer.
