What are the pitfalls of camping in a Hybrid?
Versus camping in an enclosed TT? I just want to know what I'm getting myself into before we decide what to purchase. We are leaning heavily toward the hybrid as of now because I like the idea of st...

I think that it depends on if you are say a couple setting up, or a person with a older kid, etc. We are a couple, and we have 2 kids (14 and 11). We all have a "job" when we get to the campground, and basically we end our setup jobs at around the same time. I think that it takes us about 10 minutes to be setup, beds made, etc from the time we unhitch. Tear down, maybe 20. I do the inside, making up the beds, handing stuff to the guys outside that needs to go out. We have a bucket for shoes, and a bucket for wood, etc.
We use a sheet on the mattress, the kids each use a sleeping bag and blanket, my DH and I have a memory foam topper with xlarge cotton sleeping bags zipped together, and blankets.
If we're moving campsites we just pulle our bed (we sleep in the front) into the middle of the camper made up (like a bed), then I throw the kids bedding on top and put their mattress in the hallway for the day.
If we're folding up for a long time, everything gets rolled up and put in it's place.
If you had a hard side, wouldn't you have to tear down the bedding anyways to wash it after each trip? I'm not sure how having a hard side would save you any time (maybe 5 minutes) for folding in the bunk ends?
Yeah, we will strip beds still after each trip, but they will be premade for arriving. That is one pro for us. As I just mentioned, we have a U-shaped dinette in front of hte front bunk and the rear bunk has about a 2 ft opening to get into the read bed, and it is aggrevating to make due to that.
We ran across a great deal on a TT that we can't pass up.
