Simple, no?

Except for the 50% of the definition of a classC you you are ignoring- the cab over part.

I'm not ignoring anything. Read the title of this forum:

Class B - Camping Van Conversions

What part of that title do you not get? That's the way it is set up by the powers to be. Discussion of cab-chassis RVs of all kinds and anyway you want to define them is in the RV.net Class C forum. BTW, you are just another long line of people with B-ness envy. We have gone down this road before. Get over it.

I read the title and own a sprinter modded for pet grooming.

Class C have been defined long before you or I got to this forum- and a cab over is part of that.

You can call the IItasca and the winnie a class B+'s but without a cab over you can't call them a class C.

I thought this was about gas or diesel?

Clearly saying you can't get one in a class B is untrue.

UD

Dave, you're wrong along with the other fellow.\

The View is not a B or B Plus or C. It is a C Minus.

Pretty clear its an option to me.

Note that was a 2012 discussion when the first started up. I don't think they ever installed one and they do not promote it as an option now. In fact their standard now is to install a second alternator under the hood to charge multi batteries. I hope I am familiar with all this. I am having an Advanced RV being built and without a generator of any kind, diesel or propane.

Where is the update to this then? Note this data has not been updated nor has the "air conditioning challenge section"

Ask Mike how you run an AC for 16 hours.

RIVA definitions.
"Class B: Commonly called van campers, Type B Motorhomes are built using automotive manufactured van or panel-truck shells. Van campers drive more like the family car, but offer the comforts and conveniences of home on the road."

"Class C: Type C Motorhomes are built on an automotive van frame with a wider body section attached to the original cab section. Many Type C Motorhomes are easily recognizable by the over-the-cab area that is often an optional sleeping area. Amenities are similar to those in conventional motorhomes." (This is commonly referred to as a cut-away chassis.)

For it to be a Class B it has to start as a Van.
A B+ is just a marketing term for a Class C with no over the cab sleeping area. A cab over is not a definitive characteristic.of a Class C.

Are you implying that we should believe RVIA over WIKIPEDIA? How DARE you?! :W

- heres another source....

The Class C motorhome is known by many people as a “cab-over” motorhome.

Advanced RV puts diesel gensets in non cab chassis class B's

I previously mentioned I don't recall Advanced RV putting a diesel generator in a Sprinter van. Can you cite a specific example? Advanced RV does custom work, to a degree, for their customers and it might be possible they did a one off for a customer and they only build on Sprinter 170" wheelbase vans. Their base standard is to use diesel powered heating and on demand hot water, but that is not using a generator. Their main emphasis of late has been their ecOasis system of solar, multi-battery banks, second under hood alternator and large inverter charger to eliminate propane and generator.

According to Mike on his videos he does. Do you hold the registry of each one built?
