I was next to an RV'er who had one of those class B motorhomes. It's the conventional truck (Big Rig)front end with custom camper on the back. Apparently it was built by a company that supplys campers to racers,

Am I correct calling thses class B motorhomes?

No. Those are called a Super C. And many "motorhome resorts" will not allow them in. Dynamax is one of the popular builders. There are also some in the race car circles called toters, but they are not set up as a RV vehicle.

What's the advantages/disadvantages over standard class A diesel?
Do they hold value as they age?
Do you not get great MPG since such a large engine is not pulling so much weight?

Many like them because there is that big engine between you and what you could hit if involved in a accident. They think of it as a safety factor. They have a much higher GVWR and GCVWR than a DP has. They should hold their value as well as a Class A Diesel Pusher. Better MPG. No, because they use the same diesel engine a diesel pusher uses.

A class B is about the size of a regular class C, but there is no sleeper over the drivers compartment. Looks much like a over sized van.
