Are there any class B's that do not look like RVs?

Commercially produced, non-DIY, campers that just look like regular vans?

This came up in another thread, and my first thought was, 'I have never seen one...' but I guess that would be the point!

So, are there any out there, that I am missing?

[Naio]

Wow, thank you, woodhog!

If you like Moorhead labs then you really need to look into Sportsmobile.3 locations around the country. Indiana , Texas and California.

Thank you for the link. That's the kind I've been looking at. I love the different options for the beds, especially the ones that raise up giving you better access to the storage spaces underneath. I've noticed that they have fewer windows, and some in the pictures look like the double glaze and open very wide. you just never know how available these options would be in the US.

Class B with or without the Glitz

Maybe you can get some ideas from this site, very innovative and not so cookie cutter RV like.

I didn't think that eliminating the roof ac was that common. I haven't seen that many. It sure looks cleaner to me. I don't know why stealth would add to the price when it is mostly achieved by leaving things off (awning, porch lights. large advertising decals, etc.)

If you get double pane acrylic windows can you get the blinds between the panes, like in a house? Will the windows help with temp and noise? Are they very expensive and do you have to order them from a dealer? European design is so cutting edge! I love their interior fittings, but the exteriors are not very sleek and they are not stealthy looking at all.

The stealth look is pretty common for new Sprinter "B"s. It does not come cheap, however. The van I'm planning to build trades stealth qualities for ease of life indoors, mainly by going with European camper style acrylic dual-paned windows as opposed to single pane automotive glass.

Thought I would add this, that to be an RV it has to have a bathroom, kitchen, and bed, otherwise it is a Camper Van, and does not fall under the "no RV parking rules, or no RV's allowed.

A fast look at my Roadtrek without any identifying decals and you see just a conversion van but if you know what to look for you will see it as an RV - AC vent in the back of the roof, fridge vent on the side, and classic RV furnace vents. Also the antenna on the roof is a big give away that there is more than a van inside. And then there is a mandated small plate on the bottom side of the van that says RV in compliance, etc.

I've seen class b's without ac on top, no awning, and nothing on sides. looks like delivery or utility truck. the stealthiest I've seen yet. the AC and satellite domes, etc are dead giveaways.

Thanks for the pics! I like! Maybe it's cause I am such a newbie, but I don't think I have ever seen an RV with the kitchen along the end wall like that :).

Have you ever had a park tell you it was not a 'real RV', and you could not stay with them, because of the look?

Not yet. Never thought of that. But really all they have to do is look inside to see that its and RV.

To improve our stealthiness we are going to put a big "GOT MILK" sign on the side of our little rig and then maybe a decal of a large dairy cow. Maybe a carton of empty milk bottles by the door for good effect.

With that awning over the window I would be worried people would be lining up to buy milk?

Or serve hot dogs or French fries etc. when we are in Mexico sometimes people flag us down thinking we are a collectivio. (Small commuter bus).

Is that 'milk truck' the 2002 Vanguard 22 foot Class C in your sig? It intriges me. Was it plain like that when you bought it, or did you have stuff removed?

Nope. It used to look like this. Then we pealed the decals off, painted the bottom grey with rocker guard paint (and the mirrors), moved the spare to the front and put Alcoa aluminum rims on it. We kind like the "naked look".

looks like a Rialta
