I love our Hybrid except the set up time.
It's Got to be a bit better than the pop up.?.
Yes its a small bit better on set up time but truthfully not that much but i wouldn't want to go back either, LOL
I have to disagree about the set up time. I had three popups over nearly 20 years and the set up and pack up time is like night and day.
It's only the 2 of us now so less stuff, but still. In fact we were so amazed at the difference, just for fun we timed ourselves on one trip the second year we had the hybrid. Without rushing or making a race out of it, we were done and sitting in a chair with a beer in 48 minutes. that was from the time we got the trailer into position until we were done and included unhooking and leveling.
1. My bunk ends are fully attached canvas with cables. I can set open both bunks by my self and have them ready in 10 minutes. Drop the hatch, insert the single shepherds pole and done. If I didn't walk with a cane, it would be less than 10 minutes (we use double sleeping bags just like we did in the pups).
2. Connect water line, sewer hose and cable TV if available. Another 15 minutes, maybe.
3. Extend awning. 3 minutes.
That's basically it on the camper side! the rest is the same as any trailer. Grab the chairs and grill from the back of the truck. etc.
I think your conclusion should go before number 2....... The only difference between an HTT and a TT is about 10 minutes. I would also do it in less then 10 minutes if I didn't have COPD.
MY DW and I also use sleeping bags....one under us and one over.
