Yikes. That looks expensive whichever way you look at it.

Stupid and reckless driving. The report makes reference to the driver refusing to give blood samples .... fair to assume still drunk from earlier or previous evenings drinking?

It appears he refused a breath test, so draw conclusions there. It also looks like the chronic too heavy, in the garage syndrome the tail is wagging the dog, look at the black marks it is laying down.
My Ford Transit Chausson was a very stable drive and hardly affected by passing HGVs, me or them passing. However the Hymer does wag around a lot, Mercedes even make a steering electronics system to stop it, but it appears not to, longish body 7 mtr and short wheel base 3.86metres, and very highly assisted power steering do not help either. It is the intercity coaches that make it wobble most. I do not do 80 mph, so it would not end in tears like this one did. 60 is as fast as I feel happy at although sprinter vans go passed at over 100mph when they are on the delivery runs with a lot of parcels on.
A year in Gaol is bit harsh as nobody was hurt and a lot of worse things than that on the roads do not get that sentence.

Only by incredibly good fortune was no one hurt or killed, so I feel the 12 month sentence is light, if anything. If you wave a gun around in a crowded place firing bullets at random but don't hit anyone you are no less guilty than someone who hits with their first shot. The intent is still there.

Living the dream.
If you look at the very start of the vid you will see the accident started before the dash cam caught it. There is a locker door missing and damage to the sill near the hab door. Perhaps this along with the speed unsettled the Moho.

Oops, I just posted this in the news section. But I'll repeat my comment.
From the outset, it looks like the MH tried a punishment swoop to get the camera car to pull in to lane one. But then he ran out of talent, and started a tank slapper that was unrecoverable.
