The report summarizes the results of a multidisciplined investigation of the safety-related handling behavior of recreational vehicles. The study developed test procedures suitable for evaluations of the handling performance of light trucks, vans, and truck chassis-based recreational vehicles under realistic highway driving maneuvers. Specific vehicles considered included a Class A motor home, Class C motor home, VW Van, Pickup and Camper, and a four-wheel drive Jeep Wagoneer. Each vehicle was also simulated on an updated hybrid computer. The procedures are braking-in-a-turn, sinusoidal steer, trapezoidal steer, trapezoidal steer while braking, road roughness in a turn, and crosswind sensitivity.
