As with the pop up tent trailer, if you close up a hybrid in rainy weather, it means opening up as soon as you get home to dry them out....if you store in a storage lot, this may or may not be a problem. Also means knowing that regulating heat and a/c is a bit trickier than a hardside trailer. If you love canvas, the outdoorsy feeling, being able to open the windows in the bunkends in great weather to let the fresh air and breezes through, then you'll be happier. If you prefer getting home, leveling and shutting everything down and being done with it, you'll likely not be crazy about wet bunkends. If you're very sensitive to temp changes, a HTT may not be for you. It does involve a bit more in setting up and closing up, but it's very much worth it. Another consideration that we've just dealt with is your age and any health/physical issues.....if either of those apply, you need to have the owner/dealer let you open and close the bunkends several times to make sure it's not a problem. We bought an '07 ROO 23SS with the intention of it being our one and only camper. Time, age and ailments marched on and we decided it was no longer the right thing for us and made the change to a TT. It was a good change in our case, but may not be necessary for everyone. You really need to go through the routine several times before you hand over your hard earned money. Do your very best to make sure it's right for you...it's not for everyone. Good luck and happy shopping.
