While I can not speak for Motor homes. I know car makers are now testing with high power radios.. In many cases they give a Ham Radio Operator Engineer a test car to drive, complete with a full gallon of radio..... The reason.. Well.. Imagine the following scenario.
Patrol officer is doing Speedlimit plus when IDIOT flys by so fast he does not even know he passed a patrol car.. Officer puts the pedal to the metal to catch this idiot before he kills someone ... Dispatch this is Adam Twelve (Ok so I picked a TV show for the car ID) I;M iIN (Sputter sputter cough engine dies), I was in pursuit of a speeder but my car died.
I actually know a trooper that sort of happened to.. Only .. Well major differences.
(1: He was trying to join in a chase)
(2: He put the pedal to the metal, then dropped it in Drive, and blew every seal in the tranny,, Engine kept running)
(We told him DRIVE FIRST, then floor it)
