Setting up a hybrid tent end may take 3 of 4 minutes at the most and only a portion of that is outside. Getting wet setting up or breaking down the tent ends is a non issue, you still are going to be ten minutes in the rain hooking up the hitch bars lights, picking up your leveling blocks,etc.
We have camped in our HTT in torrential downpours and they DO NOT get wet inside at least we personally have never had any leakage.
Hybrids are noisier than 4 hard walls and the temperature varies more. Hybrids are a compromise between weight and space. I tow 23' on the road, but have 28 in camp. A 28 foot hard side would absolutely max out my half ton truck, while my 23 is a perfect fit.
Go to a show or dealer have them demonstrate setting up and breaking down the tent ends and try it yourself.
We have taken ours on a couple of 7 or 800 mile trips, an overnite at a Wal Mart or truck stop we usually turtle, just for security reasons.
As to bear resistance I can't speak,but although you do hear of an occasional problem I don't give it a moments thought.
