A class B (without the plus) is a stock van with an RV built inside it, possibly with a raised roof...what you were thinking was a B+.
B+, as hotbyte wrote, is a marketing term rather than an officially defined standard. Generally it means a smaller, often upscale, class C without a cabover bunk. "Super-C" is another such term that generally refers to a class C built on a heavier chassis than the usual van chassis (though occasionally just means a bigger than average class C).
For completeness, a class A is built on a bare chassis or a custom/bus chassis. I always thought a bus conversion should logically be called a class B, but nobody asked my opinion when they were formulating the classes.
