Hi folks,
I'm shopping for a tow vehicle, and I'd like to hear your input. I don't have the trailer yet, but it's going to be a low-profile hybrid such as a Trailmanor, HiLo or Chalet, or maybe a Casita. Dry weights are #2500 for the TM, #3500 for the HiLo and somewhere in between for the others.
first, none of these trailers mentioned are "hybrids". hybrids are a cross between a travel trailer and a popup. so they have to have the canvas tent ends to be a "hybrid".
the TM and HiLo are expandable travel trailers or popup travel trailers.
the A-frame Chalet is a hard sided A-frame popup trailer.
as was said, do yourself a favor and don't use fictional "dry" weights. no trailer weighs that. look at the actual yellow sticker weight, which is the weight of the trailer when it left the factory.
