I think I might have stepped into something here, but I have to ask because it appears I don't really know what the difference between a class C and a class B motorhome.
I always thought a class C was a small to medium boxy shape MH built generally on a Ford or Chev chassis and sometimes has a cab-over and sometimes just a rounded front cap, and a class B was something smaller like a van or a van conversion maybe on a MB Sprinter chassis. My confusion stems from a question I asked in the class b-van conversion area of this site. I asked if anyone had any experience or knowledge of a Unity24MB van made by Leisure on a sprinter chassis and a response suggested I should be in the Class C area. I'm interested In the Unity because Triple E sent me a response today about a Regency24GTMB class C MH, I inquired about, saying they no longer produce that class C Regency...
Sorry to be so long winded here. Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your description of the difference between a Class B and a Class C is fairly close. The physical size does not have that much to do with the Class designated by the RVIA. The Class B is a motorhome that is usually built within the original shell of the van as built by the chassis maker. It could be a Chevy, Ford, Sprinter, RAM, Nissan or other. The Class C is built on what they call a cut away chassis. That unit, when it left the factory, never had any body work behind the cab. That part was added by the motorhome converter. So...some of the Sprinters are Class B and some are Class C. The 2014 Unity is a Class C (notice the bulge behind the cab door) -
