Non-RVer these days, but we've had both a HTT and a TT. If you're thinking of daily stop/set up vs being in one place for a few days and then moving on, a hybrid can get old very quickly. We loved ours, but found on 2 longer trips that the daily set up/break down was a pain. Other than that, we loved our HTT. The TT took care of much of the daily chores and we loved every minute of it. Agree that you won't find much difference in fuel savings due to the frontal area. Somewhere around 10 mpg is a good day with either. We never had leakage issues, loved the openness of the HTT, loved the sounds of nature, never bothered with campground noise. No RV in our life due to a relocation to FL and other issues that came into play...miss it terribly, but that's the breaks. Recently noticed a resident in our community with an AR-one and it's a great looking smaller trailer...have not seen the inside. Strongly suggest you look closely at the must-have items you'd move from the TT to the HTT and consider storage space. That would be my only concern going to about half-size where you are now. Know going in that you'll definitely need to minimize, which we have found with our downsize move is a good thing. Less stuff = less maintenance = more time to enjoy life. Good luck.
