I would set it up like so:

This one in host B
> natd -interface rl1

And this in host A

You need to translate all the 192.168.0.x to tunnel's address and you 
cannot do it in host B, because it has no direct connection to 192.168.0.x.
Another solution is with routing, so host B has direct access to the 
192.168.0.x network.
