I added a screen door cross brace to the camper today. It's nothing fancy, but does provide a nice handle to grab ahold of when closing or exiting. The factory door has a small finger pull area to...

I believe you are correct. From what I can gather, they manufactured the 199 for a very short time. I personally would prefer the dinette, though. Do you want to trade? ;)
