What "NAME" can you call that Class B?
Class Bs, do keep changing, and soon if not already we will see a fully four seasoned Class B van. My question is very straight forward and asks a simple question. A class Bs have a Generator and I'm ...

I agree with magicbus (Dave). We run our generator for the convection oven and that's about it. Like Dave, I exercise it more than I use it but it is nice to have and I keep it well maintained. It was marvelous during an ice storm a few years ago when we lost power for four days. We ran it for an hour every four or five hours (using extension cords we keep for that purpose) for an hour to keep the refrig going in the house and powering the blower on our natural gas fired HVAC. That emergency use and always the prospect of another power outage is enough to keep me happy maintaining it.
What is a B? Traditionally and classically it is any van converted to a camper or small motorhome. If it starts out as a van, it is a B regardless of whether or not it has a genset.
All that got confused about 2003 or so when Gulfstream started making the BT Cruiser and calling a C without a bed over the cab a B+. Now, it is a generally accepted term after a dozen years of arguments on this and other forums. I got worn out on this forum from those threads.
Who cares what you call it? Let's just have some fun. Whether it is a VW bus from the sixties or a diesel pusher dated 2020 we are all doing the same thing: enjoying our lives.
