01 What makes it unique
Gulf Stream lists the Ameri-Lite 192DS at 3,940 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 860 lb and a tongue weight of 400 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 22' 3" long and 10' 6" high. Gulf Stream prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 34 Ameri-Lite floorplans Gulf Stream’s Ameri-Lite model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 16 from the lightest, in a range from 2,630 lb (Ameri-Lite 134BH) to 6,320 lb (Ameri-Lite 292RBH). Every figure in that comparison is Gulf Stream’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Gulf Stream’s own Ameri-Lite model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) for the Ameri-Lite 192DS, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Gulf Stream does not publish for the Ameri-Lite 192DS
Gulf Stream prints no GVWR, tire size, grey-tank, black-tank, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 5 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Ameri-Lite line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 5 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover latches/locks/linkages, structure, suspension and wheels.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Ameri-Lite line page.
