- ctilsie242Explorer III would say it depends on the "B". ProMasters have a telescoping, but not tilting steering wheel, so they tend to drive more like traditional vans. Sprinters and Transits are more adjustable, and tend to be more car-like.
Rides can differ greatly among class "C"s as well. Some have airbags, others vary from good road manners to white-knuckled driving.
If I were to recommend a class "C" for road manners, I'd recommend Coach House, Phoenix Cruiser, Or Lazy Days. If I were to recommend a class "B", I would probably recommend a Transit, although a 4x4 Sprinter is nice as well. - GailSExplorerTo put it simply, in our opinion, the Bs drive like a van and the Cs drive like a truck. We've owned 2 Bs and a C. The Bs were a 2005 LTV Free Spirit Sprinter and now have a 2017 Travato K on the Promaster. The C was a 2013 Phoenix Cruiser small class C on a Ford. The Travato is our favorite especially for drivability and handling.
- DoubleVeteranExplorerRides/handles really well "out of the box". My Tiffin diesel pusher was really smooth, but too large, so no real comparison. Never owned a C, but test drove several...my Roadtrek handles/rides better than all that I test drove.
- steveh27ExplorerNever rode in a C. My older B rides well after replacing the shocks and added rear axle extenders to line up with the front. Also replacing the ball joints.
- LwiddisExplorer IIYou request a generalization? How is that helpful?
- IAMICHABODExplorer III think it would depend on which chassis it is built on.
Ones built on a Chevy Chassis have a larger drivers area and a smoother ride than Fords,at least on Class Cs so I think that would cross over to the Class B.
