Class A or B
We've run the gambit on RV's and will be going full-time soon and just can't decide what way to go. We were initially going with a "couples" TT but after going and looking at them they just seemed to...

I'm not talking about conversion vans, maybe its a B+? I've seen many class B's that run the E450 chassis, BT Touring, Lexingtons, and the such, that are easily capable of towing 5K.
Those are advertised as B+'s and are technically class C's.
The classes mean nothing more than what sort of a chassis was used to build the motorhome. A class A is built on a bare chassis or a custom chassis, with the coach builder supplying the entire bodywork. A class C is built on a cutaway (or cab and chassis), with the cab area being from the chassis maker and the rest of the body from the coach builder. A class B is built inside a van, often with the roof raised up, but with the walls of the body coming from the chassis maker.
A class B+ is generally just a comparatively small class C without a cabover bunk. They like to sell them that way I suspect because B+ sounds better than C-, and because it's easier to justify a higher price tag when you are attempting to be at the top of the scale rather than the bottom of the scale. Probably it's also to try to avoid the "stigma" that class C's are mainly for families while class B's are mainly for couples (with people who are looking for the latter).
