As an owner of a B+, I can tell you they are technically a "form" of a C but very different. Do not let people tell you otherwise, it is very important for consumers. They have changed over the yrs with some being longer but technically they were made for people that wanted something slightly bigger than a regular B, and a little smaller or more streamline, lower in height with better gas mileage than a C. An easy way to tell the difference between a B+ and C is they do not have the large square overhang cab with the bunk. Nexxus is a great site where you can view the difference between their C and B+ as they clearly marked as such. Coachman makes a Prism 24 ft long 2150 (C) and a Prism 24J (B+) same floor plan. The 24J has no overhead bunk, is lower in height, has slightly less outdoor storage. I do not care for regular C's but really like B's and B's. They also get better gas mileage than regular C. Our B+ on a V10 got 12-13 mpg, a similar C same length would get about 8 mpg. The Leisure Travel Serenity, Unity, can be listed as "C's" but are a B+ form of a C. So is the Navion/View without the overhead bunk, Winnebago may call it a C, but many knowledgeable dealers will differentiate to help consumers. You can find some B+'s that are 30 ft long know or they made a few which blurred the lines. Whether people on here who don't even own one want to argue that they are C's, I will always fight this bc they are very different than a regular C for the above reason mentioned and that is important to consumers. Other example of a B+ is the Pleasureway Pursuit. Even tho the Pursuit can be bought with a VERY small bunk overhead as an option, it does not have the large square boxy like overhang cab over the front.

Well, with my 15 inch laptop, that is another 4 inches.

And this is why it takes up 4 inches and more now bc of responses from people like you. For people like myself this is very important bc I am in the market/interested in B+ and a B. To help with the question of difference between B and B+, we'll be trading in our B+ in a couple weeks for a B (on order). Our new B will be a foot shorter, going from 25 ft to 24 ft, a little lower in height, and more narrow than our B+. We will also have smaller holding tanks. Hopefully the holding tanks won't be an issue, at least it's going to be something we have to get used to. We've been looking at new B+'s and B's for the past year or so.
