Why Does B+ Cost More Than Std. C?
The chassis, usually the Ford E-450 cost the same and the width & height on a B+ is typically 3-5 inches less, so why the higher purchase price? Bags.

Where can I locate the following info for Nexus RV's. I'm primarily interested in B+, but might consider a C.
OCCC
type of roof (fiberglass cap vs rubberized coating?)
typical mpg for the various chassis lengths.
I read all info I could find at the Nexus website and searched this Forum and could not locate any info on these subjects.
Nexus utilizes the Ford E-350/450 chassis' on their Class C (B+'s). I would just call them for the OCCC numbers on any specific model you are interested in. It can vary a lot depending on the options. Slides and auto levelers eat up (as in waste), a lot of payload on any RV. IMHO: Any Class C without at least 2,000# of payload is a joke.
All Nexus' have one piece fiberglass roof's with one piece fiberglass end caps. This is a far better design than any rubber roof.
As far as mpg the V-10 will generally get you 8 - 10 depending on how heavy you load, what if anything you tow and how heavy your right foot tends to be.
For the record we are enjoying our first night of a month long trip 425 miles from home at Jacob Lake (47 miles north of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon). Headed to Northern California across Nevada's highway 50 (the so called loneliest road in America), can't wait to roll out in the morning.
