What is the difference between a Class B+ and a C ?
I always thought the B+ used the "stock" van body with maybe a raised roof ? I am now seeing some so called "B+" RVs with non-stock bodies and slideouts ! Why not just call them a "C" ?

The reason they don’t call them C’s is that most novices associate Class C’s with the over the cab bunk area, even tough many of these areas actually contain entertainment equipment and/or storage.
Customer would come in predisposed NOT want a C period, no matter what it looked like, so “they” came up with the B+ designation. At best it should be described as a C- (A C Class minus the overhead) but nobody would buy a product with a minus in the designation.
Over the years there has existed either confusion or purposeful misinformation on the part of sales people and then customers about A,B,C motorhomes. To this day the old Winnebago Rialta is frequently advertised as a Class B, when it is a C.
