Hybrids going by the wayside?

Not from what I've been seeing in the local state CG's - but that's probably rather subjective.

Jayco seems to have a number of options in the single and tandem axle hybrid options. Depends on what you're looking for. Pretty sure Forest River still offers some too.

My local dealer can't keep them on the lots. Roo 233S arrived for dealer stock on Tuesday, Deposit made on Wednesday.

Rock wood has a good selection I think. I just got the rockwood roo 233s and had to have it delivered from ohio because they r so rare here. Haven't used it in the wild yet but am loving it from what I can tell so far. :)

I think the reason for so few mfgs of them is that the bigger RV companies have been buying up the smaller ones. There still seem to be quite a few around - though more in the Midwest than the west, it seems.

So many Travel Trailer but few choices in Hybrids with slides.

That's probably true. Not that many hybrids with slides. Market forces, I'd bet. Maybe folks that want slides are inclined to just size up to a regular trailer and save themselves the trouble of the bunk ends typical of hybrids.

But more "traditional" hybrids themselves are a burgeoning industry. Lots of choices out there!

Forest River > Palomino > Solaire Has a full line of hybrids with slides in the 19 - 23 foot range.

Completely disagree. Forest River has the ROO/Shamrock/Solaire/Palomino lines, all have models available with slides. The 23SS has 2 bunkends, huge slide, awesome kitchen and was the #1 seller until the 233S came along with 3 bunkends. Also the new model 23IKSS with opposing slides. ROO is available through RVWholesalers and strongly suggest you spend some time on their website.

Jayco has a very complete line. Other manufacturers have hybrids also....take a road trip and note the different models or spend some online time. RVW has the ROO, complete with floorplans and pictures. RVDirect carries the Jayco and has information on their floorplans. A good place to start looking at the hybrids with slides that are out there and there are plenty.

Although there are plenty of HTTs in the Midwest and south, you'll find a huge number in the NE and also north of the border. The west coast, for whatever reason, seems to make it a lot harder to find than other areas. With the great weather in the west, you'd think they's be on every corner.

TT are certainly more prevalent, but there will always be a market for HTT as there is for PUPs. You just haven't looked in the right places.

Forest River also has the Coachmen line.....Freedom Express 22DSX is the cousin to Roo/Shamrock 22SS....huge super slide.

I'm not sure what campgrounds you go to. Hybrids are more popular than ever. Two weekends ago were camping and at least 1/3 of the trailers were hybrids.


Jayco makes 4 models with slides. Our X20E is one of them.
