I just bought a "B plus" Trail Lite R-vision. Maybe it all is marketing hype, but here's what I found in my own research:
The "B" class I looked at all were single rear wheels;
The "B" cab was all the same width from front bumper to rear.
The "B" cab was typically 1/2-3/4 ton chassis;
The "B" cab usually was of lesser head room inside, having a lower outside roof clearance;
The "B plus" all had duals built on "one ton chassis" so I'm told.
The "B plus" widens behind driver door, so the side-to-side from there to the rear bumper has more inside space;
The "B plus" universally was taller inside headroom, and typically up to 10'8" or so outside roof clearance;
The "B plus" typically has a slightly more aerodynamic front roof shape because there isn't a bed over the front seats, being used for other things. Mine has entertainment center & storage, with extra clearance to access drivers seat.
Perhaps the Cs are like this too.
I do see some very long B+ styles, and even now with slides.
I'm not making claim to accuracy, just listing what I observed.
I was searching far & wide for a tremendous deal on a Road Trek, but never found what we were after.
In any case, my 23' "B plus" fits exactly what we were after.
Handles like a sports car, parks like a mini Cooper, got mileage 13+ on first outing.
So far so good.
