It is because the more aerodynamic newer models meant better mileage? Or problems leaking?

Any thoughts on the differences between the older and newer model?

Thanks and happy traveling!

I don’t know, but since most of these were built for Cruise America, I expect the change was made to lower cost and also to make the overhead bed area larger.

I doubt the newer models with squared-off front caps are more aerodynamic; and even if they were, it’s not enough to matter. Plus I doubt Cruise America would care much about fuel economy on rental units.

The 19Gs I’ve been inside were very nice, and a great size at 20 feet so they could be parked just about anywhere. For us they lacked outside storage space otherwise I would have rented one previously. Instead we rented larger CA motorhomes.
