        Ummm...no...the Rialto is Winnebago's replacement for an earlier
        line of Renault chassis based mini-motorhomes, called the LeSharo.
        It was available with a relatively wimpy diesel...the gasoline and
        diesel versions tended to overheat...:-(

        [ I was tempted several times to buy one back in the '80s by
        the form factor, but eventually our family grew beyond the
        capacity of the LeSharo and we acquired a very capacious Ford
        460cu in V8 powered Jamboree 23ft Class-C mini- motorhome.]

        The "Eurobago", on the other hand, I thought, is the derisive
        nickname for the EuroVan Camper, which has an interior and poptop
        modeled (roughly) after the Westfalia version on a long wheelbase
        EuroVan.
