Check out Winnebagos web site for more info, I >think the Rialto is still in production. > 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.
