Aside: I'm a bit unclear on RV classes. Turns out that they're not arranged in strict order:

- Class A: 20'--40', largest, up to 30,000 lb GVW.

- Class B: smallest, 17'--23' with the VW Bus camper van being the original (according to the source below). Think "camper van".

- Class C: Intermediate, 20'--35' length, usually on a van chassis with an over-the-cab design (usually integrating a bed).

There's also a range of trailers and camper-shell designs.

I believe that different drivers licence certifications may be required for some classes (particularly Class A).

I'm not really sure if there's an official standard. Generally, I've seen:

* Class B - Essentially built within the confines of a commercial cargo van.

* Class C - Built on a cab-over or chassis of a medium duty truck/van.

* Class A - Built on a heavy-duty bus chassis.
