I don't think it is possible to have a list based on the premise of best to worst as it covers too many things that are personal choices of how a van is designed and equipped. I am not surprised by a lack of lists.

Ratings of quality type issues is doable, IMO, but be aware person bias because owners always seem to rate there own van higher.

If you are looking for a list of opinions for a B for yourself, you could post a list of how you would travel, stay time vs driving, reacquired, features that would be nice, things that would be deal makers, etc.

You will likely to get lots of responses to that method as it a pretty common request on this forum.

we just need something reliable that wont die in the next 10 years!
they all make models to suit our simple needs.
finding which brands sell steps for the front cab is harder!
up to 7 years old.
a bathroom with a fixed sink is preferable to the newer foldup sink. twin beds for a 6 footer and 6 foot headroom. that is it!

A fold up sink? Never heard of such a thing.

That helps a lot.

When you say front cab step do you mean passenger van door or the common coach entry door, now usually sliding, to the rear slightly?

Would you commonly be staying in campgrounds with shore power. If so the opens up more options and lower purchase pricing.

How about microwave, cooktop, air conditioning?

Most of the rear bath floorplans have a fold up sink (Travato 59K for example)

day trips for a few hours, occasionally staying overnight.
prefer propane stove to electric.
they all come with air con
steps at the cab doors. they all have something at the sliding doors
coachman seems to come with them as do zions
for use in BC Canada
travato is too expensive, but would like one as we think winnebago is better made.
thanks

Thanks but beware that not all come with steps at sliding door and some don't have AC.

I think that is enough info for those that follow all the models around will be able make good suggestions, I hope thy jump in now.

I would say don't get too hung up on the cab step as they can be added in the aftermarket.

just saw a roadtrek with a pop top. i am guessing the sides and front are canvas, is the top metal? fibreglass?
Does this type of top on any b class leak?
thanks everyone
