Here are two examples of RVs that may work for your family. Tracer Air 244 or 250 vs. Rockwoood Roo 233S. Weight is negligibly different, at least with respect to how they will tow. Length open/closed is a little more different. The quality of materials is close.
I think hybrids are cool coming from tent camping experiences of 10+ years. I looked at them when researching our current TT as we has a less capable truck 6 years ago. But weight savings is not really that significant, at least to consider all the other compromises. If you really like sleeping under a tent - enjoy! If the points I made earlier are not valuable to you or how you plan to camp/RV - open up hybrid options too. Just don't limit yourself to hybrids because you think they are the only light enough RVs to tow.
