Why isn't a B+ called a C ?

Probably not Forest River offers a Class C Trek option which does away with the cab over bed

B+ is just a marketing term, it's not a true RV class.

They are considered class C since they are body added to a cutaway cab chassis.

Does it really matter, when someone says B+ we all know they are talking about a van cab with a larger than van box on the back, possibly with slides, and no bed over the cab.


When someone says Super C we know they are talking about something larger than a 450 series cab with a bed over the cab.

Totally agree!! If the size and floor plan works for you. What does it matter?

Funny reading the post. Here is what I still remember as you may remember camping has been here longer than vehicles. But somewhere in the 1960s was the VW Bus also know as the Bettle Bug, VW car and the B-van referring to the VW Bus which was most popular camping.

Then came the Class A, someone must have seen it and asked what do you call that big Bus? Someone said, Class A.

But then came the Pick-up truck camper VAN. What do you call it?

Someone smarter than me needs to set down and come up with some kind of better classification system. Fast before we see the Class Z. haha

What ever, its all marketing hype. But let's see a B+ is closer to an A and a C- is closer to a D.
What's wrong with leaving a B as a B with different floor plans and designs. This all looks like the top of a slippery slope where we start having 5th wheelers split out as 5th+, 5th- and 5th#. What ever those might be.


Good grief Charlie Brown....
