Note that there were no photos of short vans. The short ones have higher critical speeds than the long ones due to a lower moment of Inertia.

Single axle vans can encounter trouble too ....
Every rig needs care and concentration.

It would be crazy to think any size or type of van is less prone to be involved in accidents, the only thing that will reduce the risk is if the driver takes regular breaks and drives to the conditions.
Drive safely we want to see you here in 2015

I agree with you aussietraveller, An accident can happen with any size van,
Be it a two or a four wheeler, and not only to caravans as the next picture tells,
Motor Homes are just as likely to come un-stuck as well........
Here's proof that it can happen to two wheelers as well .......
The road Authorities recommend taking a 15min break every two hours, have a cuppa, stretch the legs, check the van for loose wheels, windows, doors and couplings just to name a few, lastly arrive safely.
These photos were taken off the Net, they are a reminder that It's happening on the roads so,
Take care out there People,.....

My word Jim, take care everyone.
