There isn't a lighter weight smaller TT out there with converting couches/dinette or bunk beds that can sleep 7? Up until now we have used a pop-up (17' when opened) but wanted to upgrade to something not much bigger necessarily, but with a bathroom. We looked at used hybrids but they all seemed to have issues with leaking/water damage.
Oh, so the reluctance of looking at hybrids isn't the concept but the issues you've seen? I don't blame you. However, you should keep looking at them. You'll be hard pressed to find a hard side with the specifications you are looking for. We just traded our old hybrid that was 10 years old and never had a leak save for a very small one on a roof seam. You're going to have to deal with potential roof leaks on any used trailer. Anyhow, our old HTT was too small for you, but my point is that they are out there. Leaks on hybrids have more to do with lack of proper care than any inherent design issues. You'll find the same is true of any trailer you look at.
It does not sound like you are looking at new trailers, but here's another to consider. Vista Cruisers are pretty light weight. Our neighbor bought one.
