How important are my "must haves"?
We are upgrading from a popup. I have a list of things I want in a hybrid...and so far, it doesn't exist. Here's my list: full size fridge/freezer full length awning outside cooking (hookup and m...

Lots of variables here....you want to stay at 23' or less. Are you thinking the box only or bumper to ball...a huge difference. We had a 23SS and the logic would be that it was 23'....no so. No clue how the manufacturers assign model numbers...as it happens, our Ultra Lite 2604 actually IS 26'4" BOX, but roughly 30' bumper to ball.
Re the frig....I would absolutely NOT consider a TT or HTT without the 6cu ft size. You'll find even that size will fill up fast enough. Also, many of the smaller size do not have a separate freezer, but just one inside the box. You'll find that you really do need that freezer space. Would be a major deal breaker for me.
After having our 23SS for going on 8 seasons, I can't remember for sure if the awning was full length, but think essentially so. Seems like it was something like 18' and that was pretty much full length. Our TT is full length. Guess that depends on how you camp and how much outside space you want, but we prefer full length.
The ROO has the outside grill with the bar attachment. You'll find some who hate it and some who love it....we loved it and used it virtually every trip. Our Rockwood TT has the same and gets equal use. Personally see no purpose, for us, for a full outside kitchen....not to mention not sure any hybrid has such a set up.
If you find that that ROO 23SS will fit in your space, highly recommend that model. It has plenty of functional storage space and a wonderful layout. Hard to beat the kitchen area in that model. I miss that space in our TT, but getting used to just doing things differently. The 21SS is also a very popular model and has a nice, deep slide....although limited kitchen space. Just depends on how you camp. Neither bathroom is something you'll get terribly excited over, but functional.
Don't think you'll find much, if any, difference in maneuvering a 20" vs a 23' trailer. Unless I've missed it, you don't mention your tow vehicle. Check and double check your towing specs and allow plenty of wiggle room - about 1000# over your max weight. WDH and sway for sure. Good luck and happy shopping.
