Another consideration if you camp in bear country---you are in a tent-sided trailer, along with all your food and other bear attractants. Not a safe situation, for sure.
Well, we do camp in bear country, but I grew up camping in tents in bear country and knew plenty of families camping in pop-ups. It's something to be aware of for sure, but I would be aware of that danger in any camper, hybrid or otherwise.
The truth is a bear can open up any trailer if they want in badly enough. Yosemite used to have a car door on display that had been pulled open by bears.
I'd be clearing my trailer of food and cosmetics and using provided bear boxes in any environment where bears and humans regularly interact.
