Newbie -- Considering Hybrid Purchase
After many years in a tent, the wife and I are looking to upgrade to hybrid. Have been looking at Kodiak Express 172E, Jayco 16XRB, and Starcraft Launch 16RB. We'd love to get any feedback on thes...

It is just me and my wife (and a dog), so I don't really think we need/want anything bigger than 15-18' range. Our TV is a Dodge Ram 1500, so weight isn't really the deciding factor -- I simply don't think we need a 25+ TT
Having made the mistake of going from a popup to a hybrid myself before moving on to a travel trailer I'd suggest there's only one good reason for going with a hybrid and therefore having to put up with all the negatives such a trailer involves - you want the conveniences of a travel trailer but love, love, love sleeping under tenting. If that's not the case - forget it and go straight to a travel trailer. There are plenty of shorter TTs, my own Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS being an example - offers pretty well everything any adult couple could need in an easy to tow camper that can be parked on pretty well any campsite. The box itself is 18' 6", overall length coupler to bumper is 22' 6" ... and current models feature a full length queen bed, not a short RV queen. Pics are in my gallery below. :)
