That little 19G has always looked interesting to me, but maybe best for only one adult due to the restrictive overhead cab bed. It would work for two adults OK if the dinette also made into a full bed.
I've always wondered why that wasn't made available for sale new to the retail RV market. It would really have been a sweet little rig in 4X4 configuration ... similar in use and function to a Tiger RV, but on a van chassis.
DRW on a retail version would have been nice for one particular reason - since loading on the rear duals would be so light - a flat in one of them would not necessitate stopping ASAP to repair it. You could drive for miles and repair the flat rear tire in a real safe or convenient location (i.e. the next town) because the remaining good tire in the dual set could carry the extra load without being dangerously over-loaded. This "rear tire redundancy" would add to overall RV trip reliability ... just like the situation with a dually pickup when carrying only a moderate load in it's bed.
