I was going through a similiar decision just a month or so ago. The trailer is being bought for a couple trips then sold, or thats the current plan anyways. We might fall in love.
Family consists of 2 adults, 2 kids (7-9) and Chocolate lab. Trip one is in August. Taking a Month off and driving from Toronto area to Revelstoke in BC. It will be crowded in the trailer. but as we are driving every day the reduced setup of a non hybrid won me over. We can pull over anytime and have a nap without a lot of effort.
We ended up buying a 2015 Starcraft 18BH. A few extra feet over the 16BH without much weight. Water is still tight but we are hoping to spend every other night or so with hookups.
Good Luck.
Mike
