Interesting class B+/C - is it a motorhome?

Spotted on my lunchtime walk:





I now realize I didn't walk around to the passenger side to see if it had an entry door.

Sure would make a good looking and aerodynamic motorhome!

Thanks everyone!

Well, the company that supplies the shell says they only supply it to limo upfitters, so unless someone bought one and retrofitted a bed, a bathroom, and black/grey tanks, then I'd say that no, it isn't a motorhome.

I would call it a Class B if it's an RV

xplorer wants all types of upfitters, RVs included.

if the build quality matches the looks, i cannot imagine why someone like sportsmobile doesn't use these exclusively to build the kind of quality rigs so many RVers say is lacking in the industry.

it seems like xplorer is a stealth company that wants to stay small and un-noticed. they build the shells for the LTV Serenity, but that never gets mentioned by LTV.

An Italian builder in Australia did something very similar to a Ford Transit, beautifully finished, but a bit pricey

seems that starting with that body and building a compact RV inside would really change the van conversion business. it sure looks smooth.

i am thinking chinook and coachhouse size and quality, but perhaps with $$ savings if someone like turtletop can produce the RV shell in big quantities.

maybe xplorer makes them

I would call it a C. IF it was an RV, which I am pretty sure it isn't. Looking at the way the rear panel is installed and the fact that there are no hookups, vents, etc. to be seen streetside, I think it is a luxury minibus. Of course I could be way wrong. The body seems to be a Turtle or Aerocell package added to a Sprinter chassis.

[BruceMc]

Ah! Yea, that would make for a nice compact C. Much cleaner lines than the typical C.

RoadAbode, thanks for finding the unit and the link!

Conversion Van - like that look though!

i am looking at what appear to be 3 overhead runnibg lights that, i think, make it likely this isa B+.
