Some refer to those as Class B+, but that gets a lot of arguments started because that's not a recognized class by RIVA. Leisure Travel Van used to be a Class B manufacturer, but nowadays all they sell are what most would call a Class C. None of their models have anything overhanging the cab.
I moved from a Roadtrek 210 Popular (Class B) to a Leisure Travel Van Unity (Class C). About 18" longer, a tad higher, but a whole lot more room. Plus it handles almost the same as the Roadtrek (in some cases even better), and gets much better mileage.
I am looking for a similar vehicle as the Owinsmom and thought I knew what a class B was. Maybe we both need more education.
Our needs differ from OP in that we have no pets, but add the restriction of being 20' long or shorter and under 9' and would like around 8' high max. Both restrictions so it can go most everywhere a normal size pickup could go, including my carport.
We will be moving from a slide in 8' popup truck camper so the cramped space isn't a problem. We have done numerous 4-6 week trips in our truck camper with no marital problems. Our problem is my wife's bad knees are making it hard for her to handle the upper bunk area so we will need to do something in the next year or so.
Not trying to highjack the thread, but will be watching for additional information to help us make a good choice since our needs are similar.
