Hybrid expandable or not?
I am considering a hybrid expandable for my family of 5. Looking for feedback on this type of travel trailer. Pros and cons.

I had an HTT for 4 years. I had kids sleeping on the couch and/or made out dinette and they never complained. Kids will be fine! They can sleep on anything! LOL.
I replaced the thin mattresses with air mattresses and electric pumps because we never camp without electricity. I would suggest GOOD air mattresses like Aerobeds. Saves some weight too. They do have battery-operated pumps if you like to go off-grid and the batteries last a surprisingly long time.
I have seen an HTT with a U-shaped dinette and 3 pop-out beds (no slide) that will sleep 8-10 people. I had only 2 beds with a couch & dinette but I did have FIVE in there once. Glad it wasn't raining!!
HTT's EXCEL in having lots of usable floor space and beds combined with a light weight and small "footprint". In hotter climates you DO need something on the bunk ends in the summer to allow the AC to work efficiently. Or always get sites in the shade!
