There Should Be 3 Variations Of Super C's!

Class A, B, and C are defined (I think by the RVIA, but I'm not sure on that) based on the chassis used to construct the motorhome, and nothing else. Class A units are built on a bare or purpose-built chassis, with all the body work added. Class B units are built inside a cargo van, often with a raised roof. Class C units are built on a cutaway chassis or cab and chassis, with the cab coming from the chassis maker and the rest of the body from the motorhome maker. A B+ is a class C per the accepted definitions; B+ and RUV and super-C and the rest are all more or less marketing terms and mean exactly as much or as little as the marketers want them to mean.

Super-C generally means the chassis is a MDT (or possibly HDT?) truck chassis that's somewhat heavier duty than the more common van chassis used for class C's. How far above the van chassis capabilities is, of course, a very reasonable thing to consider and compare, just as it is for the various sizes of van chassis.

You make a valid point! Also, a B+ Motor Home is actually built on a class C chassis, Ford or Chevy, but not as wide or as tall and without the cabover bunk or pod. Yet we call it a B+, but to me, it is more like a C-. Bags.

I agree with you. We just purchased a Gemini 23TR and the dealer called it a Class C. On an advertisement it is referred to as a B+. However it has no features really of the van based B+ except for the cab. From behind the seats it is all RV but without the overhead bunk. I believe the proper term now for this design is RUV, Recreation Utility Vehicle. I like your Classification better, C- fits.

You could say the same for class A's, class B's, TT's, and 5ers. There are the lower end, mid range, and high end of each, and priced accordingly.
