Conversion cars versus Mini Motorhome (class B RV)
How many people know the difference between a Van, Camper Van or Mini-Motorhome conversion? Knowing the differences can help a person make a “good buying decision.” The correct van can be your daily transport or RV. The differences have become important for such simple reasons as: How much would it cost me to insure my car?
- How to determine the fair price of the "Blue Book" for buying or selling?
- Can my county association allow me to park my van at home?
- Safety: Is my car failure checked by a state agency?
- Who will service my van when I need repair or maintenance?
Conversion vans are not Motorhomes, but they can offer many of the features of Motorhome. So let's find out the differences!
Keep in mind that there is a place to stretch from one class of vehicle to another; and there is no definition of a defective industry; just a guide. Find listings on RVTRADER.com, and you'll find many C classes in class B listings, not to mention class B in tire conversions. You will even find the usual conversion vans in the mix. It seems people really don't know what they have! Confused, is not it? We love vans and own several different types, and that’s how we define car classes in Conversion-Vans.NET.
- Cargo van - A cargo van is a vehicle that is provided directly from the manufacturer without rear seats, carpets or windows. These vans can be "Up installed or converted" to meet the needs of various purposes.
- Camper van - This is a simple conversion van for trucks to add features useful for camping. Thus, Camper Van - this is any van that has been converted for camping - simple enough! Yes and no. There is no such thing as a commercial "Camper Van" - besides the fact that you go beyond the borders of the United States, where the nomenclature changes. Camper Vans, as a rule, are "homemade" modifications. A Class B bus can be called a camper van if you want, but you can’t call a Camper Van Class B Motorhome unless it has special features!

- Class B auto home (class B RV) - Any full-fledged motorhome built on the chassis of a cargo van by a licensed installer The van can have the upper part removed or the sides extended, but still it is essentially a van in size and shape. In addition, in order to qualify as a class B car, the van must have built-in bedrooms, reception rooms and bathrooms (including proper installation of fresh and gray water storage tanks). If the frame of the van was cut to the floor level (they come directly from Ford, Chevy and Dodge in this way - only the frame and cab) and are completely built from the floor, this class “C” is not class “B”.
- Conversion Van (aka Luxury Van, Custom Van) - Any van that has been tuned for comfort can be considered a conversion van. These are really luxury cars used to carry 6-10 people in comfort. Conversion vans may have some Camper Van features or even a Class B Motorhome, but are usually more upscale and designed for daytime use and luxury transport. These minibuses can have an enlarged roof, fancy paint, custom wheels, leather seats, 4 captains' chairs, dual stereo, TV / VCR Combos, etc.
- Mini C & B + - These are really autodomains of class “C”, disguised as autohouses of class B. They have smooth aerodynamic styles of the body - often from a single fiberglass shell. The best example is the Chinook Motorhomes line from TrailWagons, Inc. They are also sometimes called B + Vans. They are actually built from the same chassis as the class C, but made more like Call B. Confusing? Ultimately, it does not matter as long as you find what you want.
So, you have it! Van is an incredibly universal form of transport that can be “transformed” according to the needs of different people and goals. Vans offer a large capacity for the transport of goods to fully independent luxury travel. So don't just run out and get a giant RV until you consider a conversion van or a class B RV.
