Hybrid TT model suggestions?
Greetings all! I am currently pretty far off from purchasing an RV, but after discussing things with the wife, I would like to begin lining things up for it. Our only experience is tent camping, whi...

Totally disagree on staying away from a hybrid. Many, many of us have enjoyed the camping experience you get with a HTT, but with the amenities included. My one hesitation with a HTT would be your location, but if you notice, our neighbors to the north have zillions of PUPs and HTTs and wouldn't have it any other way. If you decide that a HTT is right for you at this point in life, a 1/2 ton PU or similar with about 8000# towing capacity is plenty and gives you a good 1000# wiggle room. You DO NOT want to be right on the edge.
We had an '07 ROO 23SS and never dreamed we make a change because it fit our needs and we loved the openness and outdoorsy feeling. That said, DH and I are pushing 70 - him moreso than I am, lol - and the additional work involved in set up and break down was getting to be a chore. Granted, it's usually only 15 - 20 min more, but that was what broke the camel's back. We moved to a TT last year - note I did not say moved UP, just made a change - and it has proven a good move for us at this next stage of our lives.
Suggest you spend some time here and on Hybrid Explorer and get some input and suggestions as to what might work for you in a trailer and also a tow vehicle. You may find the HTT perfect and maybe not, then you look into an "expandable", the hardside with a rear slide for the bed, or even a TT. Do plenty of homework. Good luck, happy shopping and happier camping.
