IMO they are not worth the price unless the were around the $69,999 mark (starting point). They are just a van with stuff added to them.

“Bs” cost more to manufacture than “As” of similar size, so that limits their market share. Most buyers seem to prefer larger size for a given cost. Having said that, it’s interesting that Thor Airstream Class Bs are some of the most expensive; with high cost limiting then to just above 10% of all van campers.
Class Bs also tend to push limits of technology to a greater degree. This afternoon I got to see the Winnebago Travato with Lithium package. That alone adds about $20k. That’s the kind of option you won’t see in entry As or Cs. Same can be said for solar — Class Bs were at forefront of factory solar systems.
