Difference between a B and a B+ and C+

Other than the over head. The chassis is the same with the E450.

Thank you. Great point. As the population is getting older I suspected they wanted to open up the market on B and C RVs to some of the older RVers that couldn't crawl up into the cab over bed and their rug rats had grown up so over the cab beds were wasted space. Now we can be real technical saying there is no B+ or C+ but the fact is, there Is a difference between the two that makes a difference for sales to the older generation. JMHO.

RVIA set the designation.
B+ was just a marketing ploy. Still made on a cut await chassis like the C with a Rug Rat room over the cab.

A B is on a van chassis.

Technically, there is no such thing as a B+. Winnebago came up with the A,B,C classifications years ago based on how the MH is constructed.

A. Built from the ground up using a truck chassis.

B. A converted/gutted/extended van, can have extended roof.

C. Starting with the cab of a van or truck, perhaps the chassis, build the living quarters. Many C's have a "Cab over" bed but this is not a requirement. All B+'s are in reality Class C's.

An example is The old Winnebago Rialta which was based on a VW van front end (and only the front end) delivered to Winnebago who added the living area. Look at Winnebago's website and you will see the Aspect which is a class c but is similar to what others sell as a B+.

Marketers came up with the B+ to differentiate the style from the cab over bed look but it is still a C.

The C+ term I suspect refers to what some call a Super C which is a class c MH based on a big diesel truck cab and chassis, with the living area added on just like any other class c.

Oh no!!!!!

IMO LTV is a good example of the differences between a B and B+ go to the LTV website and compare the Free Spirit to the Libero......

There's no such thing as a B+ or a C+. A class B is a van with a full steel body. A class C is made off of a cab/chassis, that originally went to the RV maker with nothing behind the cab itself, (except the frame).
The B+ & C+ designations have evolved from some manufacturers using these terms in their marketing. It makes no difference whether there's a bed or whatever over the cab. It's a class C. Length makes no difference either
