My wife and I had a hybrid for 8 years and most of the time it was just the 2 of us.
If you've tent camped or had a pop-up then a hybrid is the next step. You're still sleeping under canvas and can unzip the tent ends for some flow-through ventilation. And you can get more room in a shorter trailer than a full hard sided trailer.
But - since you're in Virginia the air conditioning will be working harder to keep it cool. And you'll hear every noise through the canvas. My wife's knees are not so good and it was getting to be a pain for her (literally) to climb into the bunk ends to make the bed and climbing in to sleep. Also, there are the stories of bunkend leaks when travelling down the road.
We've done 2 weeks in it and on a rainy day it can get tight. I'd recommend one with a slide if you can swing it.
Personally, since the Durango can handle it I'd be looking at something like a Roo 23SS or similar trailer. Or do what we did and go to a hardside.
