unfortunately, we may be moving to the Dark Side, also.

but this is due to changes in how we will be camping, since we're retiring this year and not because we're tired of the canvas thing.
we plan on leaving in the wet winters in Washington and traveling for about 3 months thru the southwest and south.
having a TT will make it easier to move from place to place.

if we were still just doing the regular camping thing, we'd keep the hybrid. i don't mind the PUGs and tent ends setup. it's worth it to be able to sleep under canvas.

Say it ain't so Dan, just a bad year all around for hybrids I guess.

I retired in August, at which time we ordered a little 20' 5th so we can do the long distance travel thing too. Dark side? maybe, I'm having 8 windows put in and 2 sky lights so it won't be too bad.

Haven't decided what to do with the HTT yet, still have a couple fishing trips to go in it.

well, we had planned on a 5th wheel also but we'd have to buy a different tow vehicle, along with the 5th wheel.
so, we're thinking of just getting a TT that the Avalanche can tow. but the DW isn't happy with the limited choices, especially when comparing a TT, with the amount of room that a 5th wheel can offer.
if we like the lifestyle, then we would move to a 5th wheel after a couple of years.
we like the Columbus 370FL but it's huge and will limit where we can stay, compared to a 28' TT.

We just wanted a separate bed area, seems one of us is either up before the birds or the other is up for hours in the middle of the night. I had bought the truck in 2012 trying to be as universal as I could, not knowing what was to come next.
