Bears?
Ok, so I am kind of a camping wimp when it comes to bears. Is there any extra concern in a HTT? Julie

does the places you camp have bear problems?
if you want to camp in a campground that has bear problems, simply "turtle" your hybrid, if you are worried.
even at Fishing Bridge CG, in Yellowstone, where they ban soft-sided trailers, they will allow a hybrid if they "turtle", by not deploying the canvas ends.
Two miles down the road from Fishing Bridge is a campground that permits soft side campers (They post signs "No Bears Allowed"). Its a bit silly to use the bears rationale at Fishing Bridge to keep out soft side campers. I believe it has more to do with Fishing bridge being more amenable to motorhomes, etc. The campground is most always full so they do not need to try to attract other campers.
there are many of us who think the same way about FB, since it's the only campground in YNP with hookups and most MH's and 5th wheels like to have hookups. i believe that they don't want soft-sided campers competing with the big rigs, for FB campsites.
