Still thinking? are you looking for new or used? the hybrid I mean. Jayco is probably the biggest and easiest to find. There are a couple in Oxford and Holden, what they have on hind is another matter. Give the closest a call and see if they have any hybrids (expandable), some don't as they are not a big seller. In general the "lighter" you get, the cheaper it's made. Something like the Feather Ultralite X23B floorplan may work for you. It's really a matter of what plan works best for you as an individual.
Hybrids (soft sided/covered bunks) tend to give you more room then comparable sized TT's once they are opened up. For the same amount of opened space they may be lighter. More airy or open feeling then other options. Effected by outside temp more, probably damper feeling when it's humid, more susceptible to external noise. Wives, at least mine, tend to worry about bears getting in. Take more time to setup and take down. Harder to find used hybrids as there are less of them.
If I had little kids I'd not get a trailer that did not have a slide.
