   Thanks and yes, Class B (I think they are called 'coaches'?). Looks   
   like a longer van with it's own truck-like front.  Generally 17-20ft   
   long and no wider than a standard car.  Meant for 1-2 travelers.   
      
   I'd bring the elderly Beagle with us and my lawnmower ramps so he could   
   get in and out easier.
