Sounds like VentureVan is talking about a hybrid travel trailer where you are sleeping under canvas. To be a "hybrid" it has to have a combination of hardside and canvas. There is also the expandable, which may be just the rear hard slide with a bunk house or other for additional beds. We had a HTT and loved it for 7+ years, but seems you either love it or hate it. It does require a bit more set up and break down, plus it absolutely must be opened up when you get home unless it is 100% dry when you close up. Some years ago I would have said a hybrid was the way to go...we live in West TN. Now, a few years older and with replacement parts on DH, I would say that wouldn't be ideal for you. I think you would be happier with a gently used (or new) hardside TT that comfortably accommodates the number of folks that regularly camp with you, if any. Strongly suggest you avoid, if possible, having to make up a dinette or sofa every night if possible...gets old in a hurry. Good luck and happy camping.
