B vs C---leaks, maintenance, quality

Why not get a C with a cabover?

Because some of us are not wanting to cram as many rug rats as possible in smallest and cheapest amount of space, which is what the C market appears to me to be aimed at.

B+ is code for adults only, floor plan aimed at grownups, not young families with kids. And finishes for people who are no longer happy with cheapy fabric that is ugly but less likely to be ruined by a five year old.

the reason the RV industry came up with a new category is because those of us wanting a grown up vehicle didn't like wading through bunkhouse city.

The reason for not wanting the cab over is that they are more likely to leak.

And the last of these is my main reason.

I will either be traveling LIGHT by myself, or with a MAX of 2 grandchildren, more than likely 1 or none. They can sleep on the dinette or in the floor. :D Or when they get too big for that, in a tent. I've seen a lot of people in a B or small C with an adjacent tent for the kiddos.

I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to taking things along, probably won't be away from home more than 4 weeks absolute max. No need for off-season clothes storage, bulky stuff, etc.

So if I understand this correctly, the RVs listed for sale on RVTrader and other sites, in the "B" category, but are wide-body and obviously bigger than a standard van, are considered by "B" purists, to REALLY be class C. Is this correct?

Seems that advertisers classify anything without a cab-over as a B.
