I meet people who travel extensively, up to full-time, in 18 ft Casita's and other similar sub-20 ft trailers almost daily while park hosting.

Opinions on Jayco Hybrids, quality, service, etc?
Jayco is a good brand. But quality is a perception - means different things to different people. I don't see many people who complain about their Jayco products. Jayco has some nice small hard sided trailers.
I saw a new really neat r-pod RP-176 the other day - the couple loved it RP-176
Hybrids are another subject. One question - do you want to camp in bear country / the mountains? Some places require hard sided camper units only - no popups/ hybrids. Do your research.
