The color scheme is a little different though. And I know it's from the late-1970's because that elliptical headlight and directional light cover isn't surrounding the lights.

Oh, and it's a Class A motor home too, not a B or C.

It looks so short for a Class A, I thought they were usually longer.

This unit is built on a forward control chassis, therefore it is a Class A Motorhome. The class of a Motorhome has nothing to do with the length. Class A= forward control bus- type configuration, engine can be located in front or in the rear, these can run anywheres from 25' to 45'. Class B= Camper conversion on the inside, utilizing the basic factory exterior of the van, these can have a raised roof. these units lengths can be anywhere from 15'to 21'. Class C= Factory cutaway chassis eg. Econoline, Vandura, Dodge B-Series and all standard full ton pickup truck cabs without the cab back wall, attached to a camper so as to facilitate a walk thru conveinence. These Campers can be as short as 20' and as long as 37'
