My first RV was a Roadtrek 190. Some folks love them. I hated mine. I, too, was a single traveler and fell in love with everything doing double duty and its size.
Turned out it was too tall for a parking garage and too long for a metered parking space on the street. Everything does double duty: Bed/dinette, toilet/closet, kitchen/shower. The bed's too short if you're taller than 5'6". The shower is a plastic curtain on a circular track in the kitchen ceiling about 3 feet in diameter. The shower head is directly above you and the curtain sticks to you on all sides when you turn on the water, and you have to turn the water off to soap up. If you intend to stay in the CG 24/7 I suppose you'd be OK, but if you want to see anything else in the area or just go to the store, you have to unhook utilities.
I suppose that it would be OK for one person that won't leave the CG, but a small Class C gives you a lot more room inside for about the same price.
For me, the last straw was a recall on the Dodge transmission. Free repair, but the Dodge dealer wanted to be paid for removing the holding tanks to get to the problem, and Roadtrek wouldn't pay because there was no problem with what they added to the van chassis - so I had to pay.
