Difference between a B and a B+ and C+

[barnrt]

I know that a Class B is on a van chassis and a C is on a truck chassis. But what is the difference between a B and B +? I am told that the difference between a C and C + is that the C+ does not have the bed extension over the windshield. Is this correct? So it seems that a c+ and a B are similar . Are they?

Technically, there is no such thing as a B+. Winnebago came up with the A,B,C classifications years ago based on how the MH is constructed.

A. Built from the ground up using a truck chassis.

B. A converted/gutted/extended van, can have extended roof.

C. Starting with the cab of a van or truck, perhaps the chassis, build the living quarters. Many C's have a "Cab over" bed but this is not a requirement. All B+'s are in reality Class C's.

An example is The old Winnebago Rialta which was based on a VW van front end (and only the front end) delivered to Winnebago who added the living area. Look at Winnebago's website and you will see the Aspect which is a class c but is similar to what others sell as a B+.

Marketers came up with the B+ to differentiate the style from the cab over bed look but it is still a C.

The C+ term I suspect refers to what some call a Super C which is a class c MH based on a big diesel truck cab and chassis, with the living area added on just like any other class c.

IMO LTV is a good example of the differences between a B and B+ go to the LTV website and compare the Free Spirit to the Libero......

There's no such thing as a B+ or a C+. A class B is a van with a full steel body. A class C is made off of a cab/chassis, that originally went to the RV maker with nothing behind the cab itself, (except the frame).
The B+ & C+ designations have evolved from some manufacturers using these terms in their marketing. It makes no difference whether there's a bed or whatever over the cab. It's a class C. Length makes no difference either
