In my opinion, both C+ and Super-C are nothing more than marketing speak distinctions. All are class C motorhomes, in that all are built on a chassis cab/cutaway chassis. The fact that different cutaway chassis (with different capabilities) are used does not affect the class any.
Realistically, there are enough different chassis that are or have been used that it's hard to come up with terms or sub-classes to describe them properly, much less convince manufacturers and others to use them. There's at least as much difference in capability (relatively speaking) between an old Toyota or a new ProMaster-based RV and an E-450 based RV, for example, as there is between the C+ and super-C as you describe them. To me, it's more sensible just to say it's a class C built on a ____ chassis and leave it at that.
