With all this said, it seems to come down to 2 options. A small travel trailer with a queen and 2 bunk beds OR a Hybrid with 2 fold out tents and a dinette conversion. Either choice gives me the 3-4 sleeping arrangement I desire, BUT I lean toward the Hybrid simply because the sleeping space provides more room. I can't see 2-3 grown men being very comfortable in a bunk house configuration, and you get more floor space with the Hybrid.
It seems a
lot of newbies trying to make this same choice also make the
same mistake of focusing on the idea of more overall living space in a hybrid vs a similarly sized travel trailer. Having made this same mistake ourselves (well, my wife more than I because she's the one who insisted :R ) I'd paraphrase APR by saying there's only ONE reason to go with a hybrid - you want the amenities only a travel trailer can offer but absolutely love, adore, salivate over the idea of sleeping under tenting and are willing to put up with the many drawbacks inherent with any hybrid. Don't do this and chances are pretty good you'll regret the decision, eventually. Believe it, this exact scenario has played out for many of us, those "many" who have since moved on to a travel trailer and would much rather just sit in the backyard and not camp at all rather than go back to a hybrid. :R
