A vs. C

Why don't you try to go mid way between an A and a C and try a B

I don't know if you were joking or not... But a Class B is much smaller than a Class C. Super B motorhomes are similar to Class C motorhomes but without the front bunk. Standard Class B motorhomes are usually on a standard van chassis such as a E-350 or Chevrolet 3500. There are also the Dodge ProMaster (really Fiat) and Freightliner Sprinter based B and B Super B motorhomes and I think there is one coming out on the Ford Transit as well. All of these units max out at about 11K GVWR and have little if any tow rating. You would be lucky to have a 5K tow rating. Class B units are generally designed for two people and are complex to setup and use. This is because you need to put away the bed to convert it into a sleeping area. Fresh water, black water and generator options are extremely limited if at all some even require you to run the engine for AC power. Shower, toilet, kitchen and storage is very limited and cramped. Due to their small size and requirement to reuse spaces the cost of a Class B can be well over $100,000. Some of the Super B units on the E-450 or E-350 cutaway chassis can be less expensive. They can be a good choice for people with very limited parking and or an HOA that prohibits parking an RV at home. A standard Class B can be easily disguised as a van and could pass muster with an HOA. Parking a Class B is generally easier as you can usually park it anywhere you can park a large passenger van with the caveat that you will be taller than a van i.e. usually 9' with the AC unit if it has one. Automatic leveling jacks are generally unheard of in a Class B however some Super B units have them. There are some really nice Class B units. For certain people they are a good fit. All this said they most certainly are not "in between a class C and a Class A.
