Barthman,
I think that it is unfair to state that a Newell has less chance of a rollover vs a bus conversion. I'm not an engineer and I don't have any specs on bus conversions, so I am not saying...

I feel that Newells are very safe because the majority of the weight of the coach is below the floor (75% I think). A low center of gravity is a big plus in potential roll over situations.

Billy,
