Big Popups? HW296 Alternatives?

Useless Information: An Avalon, Niagara, HW296, HW277 will all have much more room than a 23' Hybrid. Try a 30' Hybrid and compare because when an Avalon or a HW296 is opened, it's 30'.

If you truly believe that, more power to you LOL.

Unfortunately that's not entirely true as the highwall pop ups are only 7' wide, making them much more cramped than a shorter, wider travel trailer. Then the box is still only 12' or 14' long since the beds take up ~50% of the length. You'll have much more walking room in a TT.

My Jay Flight 19BH was 22.5' long, my Pop Ups (Rockwood 2290 and Starcraft 2406) were about 23' long when opened. They were much more cramped than the Jay Flight Travel Trailer due to their narrow body width, and lack of walking space due to the 12' boxes. My beds in the Jay Flight 19BH were stacked while beds of the Pop Ups weren't obviously. The bunkhouse design opens up space, which can't be done in a tent based pop up.

We also had 4 beds in the Jay Flight 19BH, sleeping 6 people comfortably, or 7 people tightly. My Starcraft could only sleep 5 comfortably or 6 tightly, with the Rockwood sleeping only 4 comfortably or 5 tightly (on longer narrow bench seat) because the dinette bed was (about 5.5' long, 38" wide) not usable as a bed except for small children.
