Why cant we make up our minds (new camper)!!!!!

Ok everyone im going bonkers looking at reviews and trying to decide what camper will be our next, gonna look to the internet for opinions (yeah prob not a good idea) but here goes.
Want to upgrade to a larger unit, currently have a jayco 16xrb.
I want to stay with a hybrid (i think) i like the roo/shamrock 21ss but cant find one locally (within 150 miles) can find a forest river 221st which has the same floorplan in jersey though. My wife wants a regular TT so we found the keystone passport 2400bh and the cruiser rv shadow cruiser 240bhs, now i have a problem with reading reviews, and of course there are only bad reviews ever so now i cant decide what to do. our requirements are for a regular tt are one slide, large rear bunks, under or close to 5klbs under 28', 500ish lb tw. for a hybrid are large slide, 2 bunks. My wife doesnt like the tent ends and im starting to like the outdoor kitchens that the TT have, i keep flip floppping and im going crazy. between the cruiser rv and keystone i like the options that the cruiser rv has but i keep seeing a ton of bad reviews of them in general not on that specific unit, but now the more i look i see alot for keystone also, theres even a fb page for how bad they are. feel free to comment however you like, you wont hurt my feelings lol

We love hybrids and the one in my sig is our second one.

But the reality if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. Let her make the final decision.

When all is said and done, the "bad" reviews are the exception not the rule. Doesn't mean you won't get a lemon, but realistically whatever you buy will last you a long time and you'll love. You'll base decision on floor plan over all else.

Since he already said that he can't tow something much bigger that what he's looking at, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually knows what he's doing.

How many bunk beds? The KZ Spree 240BHS would seem to meet your requirements in a triple bunk bed trailer, the KZ Spree Connect C231BHS is a great dual bunk bed model. We owned a triple bunk non-slide 240BH-LX for 6 yrs, no significant issues at all. :)

Truer words were never spoken! :W

Do yourself a favour and save your own life ... you wife wants a travel trailer, not a hybrid, so get a travel trailer! :B

Decisions, decisions. It's all about decisions.
