Class A, B, and C are defined (I think by the RVIA, but I'm not sure on that) based on the chassis used to construct the motorhome, and nothing else. Class A units are built on a bare or purpose-built chassis, with all the body work added. Class B units are built inside a cargo van, often with a raised roof. Class C units are built on a cutaway chassis or cab and chassis, with the cab coming from the chassis maker and the rest of the body from the motorhome maker. A B+ is a class C per the accepted definitions; B+ and RUV and super-C and the rest are all more or less marketing terms and mean exactly as much or as little as the marketers want them to mean.
Super-C generally means the chassis is a MDT (or possibly HDT?) truck chassis that's somewhat heavier duty than the more common van chassis used for class C's. How far above the van chassis capabilities is, of course, a very reasonable thing to consider and compare, just as it is for the various sizes of van chassis.
