Class A & B questions.

Down the road I'll be loooking to upgrade my Class A. I'm leaning towards Fleetwood and Tiffin. Last outting with my Pace Arrow 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, I had seen one with a trailer just about as big as the camper pulling it.

Am I correct calling thses class B motorhomes?

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?
Who has listings of used Class B's?
PPL only has one or two listed.

Thanks!
Class A

    We have a Class A and DH always says that if we win the lottery, that's what he's buying! (so I'm safe there)
    I think they are called Class C's.
    I don't think there is any advantage over Class A except maybe access to the engine (in the front vs rear diesel pusher). One disadvantage is that they may not ride as well as a Class A. I also don't like the area near the cockpit as there is usually a hump and you need to duck if there is a bed or overhead cabinets.
    Don't think mpg is any better since there are so many factors to mpg.
    Try www.rvt.com (RV Trader) and search for Class C's. Dynamax is one brand. Powerhouse is another.
