In Elkhart today, new Phoenix Cruiser owner.
I arrived in the RV mecca - Elkhard IN. My goodness, all the RV makers you read about in one small area here - WOW. I went from a Tent, to a Class C, then a Truck camper, another class C, last one...

No, it's not. Your 2014 Phoenix Cruiser 2400 is built on an Econoline 350 CHASSIS. It is a Class C Motorhome.
You continue to refer to it as a "Class B...or B+" or a "Van". None are correct.
On the Phoenix Cruiser website is a video on a 2014 2400. At the very beginning, it is said to be built on a Econoline 350 Chassis.
Congrats on the new motorhome. I'm considering a 2551 model myself.
Many years of safe travels...
The E350 is on the Econoline chassis which is Ford's Econoline E series Wagon,
Ford Econoline E Series Vans
Term used VAN mostly when they describe the E350, they use it in conjunction with the term BOX VAN. A Box Van chassis opposed to a MH chassis, workhorse etc.
The class B designation for me comes from here
RV Types
Mine only sleeps two, and is defined here plus a photo.......Class B motor homes have sleeping space for two, though some can accommodate up to four people. They are best suited for short trips and do not work well for snowbirding or fulltiming. Much of their appeal is economy, maneuverability, and safety - and the fact that they drive more like the family car than a truck. Over the years the design of the class B motor home has evolved from a rough, homemade look to a polished, sophisticated, and aerodynamic design, giving the consumer a highly improved product.
Here's another definition on B+
Class B+ motorhome
A recent invention, a class B+ motorhome is a hybrid between a class B motorhome and a class C motorhome. These motorhomes are either built on a truck or van chassis. They usually include a "cab-over" section. They also include many amenities that a class C motorhome has, including a refrigerator, microwave, sofa/table, and dishwasher. The bath area is also bigger, usually not a wet bath. Although not common, some of these motorhomes include a closed bedroom. These RVs usually hold two people, yet some hold four.
Wiki definition
Some may call it a class C, other a class B, B+, but I've owned two class C's and this has no where near the dimensions, etc as a true C.
I guess people will debate classifications till the cows come home.
I mean really, is there a book out there that clearly defines these things?
I'll stick with B+ as defining mine.
