The PW Excel is not built on a cut-away chassis, it started out as a van, so it is a Class B.
OK. It started out as a van but from the bulkhead back it is fiberglas over frame and wider than the VAN Sprinter, in it's uncut version.

The classical definition of a B or a C rv become a cloudy point of contention when you have a B rv from under 20 ft to 24ft in both a cutaway Winnebago ERA or a lwb GWV Legend for example.

My first rv was a Traillite 22 ft --dare I say it? C Class!!!
Heh. Enjoy what you can afford and works!!
It's not cloudy at all. If it started off as a van then it's a Class B, if it started as a cut-away chassis then it's a Class C. The vin numbers will reflect this also.
A few years ago a manufactures started calling small Class C's B+'s. Because at the time Class B's were really hot sellers, and Class C's weren't selling very well, so they though they could sell more if they attached "B" to the name.
There are 35' so called B+'s, so the line has to be drawn somewhere otherwise the CVC, and the Class C forum would be a mess. RV.net uses the RIVA Types to keep the two forums from becoming disorganized, and to make searching the archives easier.
