I had many 'discussions' with my wife before we bought our first trailer.
I experienced pop-up / hybrid camping when I was young.
I wanted a full-time standup bathroom. One I could always use, even when traveling down the highway. I could pullover and use the bathroom.
That meant TT.
not sure what hybrid you've ever seen but nearly all hybrids have bathrooms that are accessible while traveling.
popups no.
Hybrids are just like a regular TT but has drop down doors(like a level ramp)that mattresses rest on. they don't impact interior space.
Hybrids are great trailers IF you love the idea of sleeping under canvas.
most Hybrid owners are former popup owners that want more amenities and less setup but want to keep the "camping" feel that hybrids offer. they don't like the "shoebox" feel of a regular TT.
but many newbies buy a Hybrid because of all the sleeping space they offer in a shorter and lighter package.
but they didn't consider the canvas in the equation and end up selling it after a season or two.
DON'T buy a Hybrid if you aren't excited about sleeping under canvas.
get the regular TT.
that said, we've had our Hybrid for almost 10 years now and still love camping in it.
but we don't camp in RV parks and prefer the natural settings that state and national park campgrounds offer.
