Ages? Camping experience?
Even if you get one with an on-board toilet-shower unit, a pop-up is still camping, with the tent up off the ground. It works great if you want a tent camping experience with a few luxuries like getting down out of bed instead if getting up off the ground.
A travel trailer or motorhome is a different experience, a house on wheels. Most of what is essential in a house is there inside the RV, so if you don't want to camp, you don't have to camp. It is maybe not as room as your house, I don't know, I've been in houses actually smaller than our larger RVs.
Hybrid gives you the house, rather than camping, experience, except that some or all of the people will sleep in something more like a tent.
As a long-time camper, still have more nights in tents than I've spent in the RV I've been using the past eight years, I looked at pop-ups as a way to get back to the camping experience. My idea was to get away from having to get from rising from a bed on the ground to a semi-standing position to stumble outside without knocking the tent down. Worked with a dealer on setting up a pop-up.
What I learned was that it would take me 20-30 minutes of work to park, stabilize, and set up that popup, working alone. I can set up my tent in seven minutes, take it down in ten. The rest of setting up camp, mostly the outdoor kitchen, is about the same whether in tent or popup camper. Thinking now about a taller tent, so I can use a cot in it.
If you don't want this to be a camping trip, rather using a RV to enable a road trip, having decent private accommodations (but not necessarily cheaper than hotels/motels/cabins) then you want something more like a house on wheels.
