Hello everyone. We just sold our 11 year old Travel Trailer (30 ft bunkhouse) and husband wants to go to a much smaller 15RB AR-ONE Starcraft Hybrid. He wants to tow less weight so we can travel fur...

We had a 21' Hybrid for 10 years. Loved it but it was cramped and lacked storage. Despite our new 5'er being 10,000lbs and the Hybrid 5,000lbs there isn't much difference in mpg towing. Maybe 1-2mpg better with the Hybrid. Frontal area causing wind drag is more of an issue than weight.
No issues with the tent beds. Never leaked. If we had to fold up in the rain we then opened the trailer up once home to dry it out before putting it away. Condensation inside the tent occurred now and then. Putting fans up above the beds worked very well as did tent end covers. Most Hybrids have 12volt outlets above the bed intended for the use of fans that clamp onto the tent pole.
