AFIAK, that is the difference between a "B" and a "C". If it came to the RV maker as a van proper, even if the entire walls are removed, it is still a "B". A cab chassis? A "C". Just a steering wheel on a ladder frame (requiring a custom facing by the RV upfitter), an "A".
Does it really matter? It may with resale value. If one cared about rig usage, this would depend on the individual model. With the unibody construction of modern vans like the Sprinter, Transit, and the Sprinter, there are a lot more engineering/space issues to deal with, as opposed to just grafting a box onto a cab cutaway.
