Wow! Thanks for all of the great responses!!!
Its funny because I keep getting drawn to the Keystone Outback/Passport and the Shamrock campers! And even the Surveyor! They seem to have a slide and bunks and fairly nice for around 10k! Of course, Ill have to drive a few hours to get one at that price, but Im willing to do that!
Ive been concerned about the FEMA campers...I didnt know the years to watch for though, so thanks for letting me know!
I HAD totally put the hybrids out of my mind, but it looks like you could literally get a nice camper that is lightweight by going that route...I dont know! UGH! So many choices! lol...
One thing to watch out for with the hybrids is leaking around the bunk hatches. This was a widespread issue for awhile on these campers and some used ones have the water damage to show for it. Apparently newer models have better seals but it's just something to keep in mind when you are looking at used units.
I was strongly leaning towards a hybrid for my family as we do enjoy the canvas of our pop-up. But, as time goes on we're becoming much more inclined to go full hard sided TT as it will allow for more even temperature control (and less potential water leaking).
