Ready to buy a hybrid but which one and how?
EDITED to slope of driveway - I actually have no idea what the slope is because I think I threw out the paper with the calculations! Oops! I think 21 degrees might be right. Hello, I posted a cou...

I wish I knew how to post pic on here that don’t automatically flip upside down, but I live on a hillside. I park my trailer next to my shop which is an even steeper grade and I have to miss a power pole. I usually turn around in my front yard (I live in the country and and about an acre front yard). Anyhow, I put my 1500 Dodge Ram in 4-low to back it up the hill. Oh, yeah. I also disconnect my hitch bars before I back up. It’s not bad, just inconvenient.
Now as far as hybrids. That was my 1st choice as we’ve had 3 pop-ups. I’m 66, my wife’s 55 and neither of us wanted to do anything more with canvas bedrooms, but, we like the room that a hybrid gives you when folded out. The beds aren’t in there taking up floor space. I really like the Roo’s construction and that would have been my choice. However, we camp a lot with the grandkids. Another reason not to have cloth or screen or zippers which fascinate little minds. Also not to mention the lack of insulation and the constant battle with condensation like we had with the pop-ups.
All this being said. We just purchased a 2018 Keystone Outback 250urs. It has bunk beds up front and a king size bedroom (rv king) that powered slides out the back of the trailer. The trailer’s dry weight is 5300#. My 1/2 tows it like a dream.
