Can't completely agree that hybrids ADD weight with the bunkend....gonna have to have a wall of some sort. I can see the additional weight of the canvas, but that's about all. It would be interesting to compare like model of the 23SS to one exactly the same with solid walls. Our 23SS was fully loaded and ready to pull out with the weight at 5000. Can't remember the numbers, but we had more than 1000# cushion.
I think there will always be a niche, just as there is one for teardorps, Casitas and such. Many HTT owners are former PUP owners who want more amenities...don't think that group will ever be gone. With the 3 bed models, eg 233SS, you could sleep 8 or so, depending on size, without much trouble. That much coziness is not something I'd enjoy, but for families with children and not a huge tow vehicle, it gives them a lot to love.
