Totally disagree that "most folks" only keep a HTT for a couple of years. We had ours starting our 8th season and only changed to a TT because of age/health issues....otherwise it would still be right here in the ROOport. To be happy with a HTT, you need to LOVE sleeping under canvas, not mind the small amount of extra set up, have provisions to allow for set up at home or other to totally dry the bunkends if you have to close up in wet weather. Leaks are far less of an issue than years ago, not to say that it can't happen, but much less of a chance. You can also have leaks with a TT, a C, a multi-dollar A. Any RV has the potential to have leaks....just the nature of the beast.
When we made the CHANGE from our beloved ROO 23SS to our new TT, we didn't consider it an upgrade or a move-up at all. It just made sense to make the change due to life changes for us. Hybrids offer the amenities of a TT with the feature of towing lighter and having much more living space when opened up. It's the perfect situation for many.
