We owned a 2006 Rockwood Roo 233 Hybrid TT, we bought in 2005 and used it for 4 years. We went from a Pop-up to the Hybrid, so it was a big upgrade. We loved our Hybrid. We used it in state parks, commercial campgrounds and parking lot camping. You will hear more in the Hybrid than you will in a hard side TT, but I don't think it is a real big difference.
We found we could keep the cool air from the A/C in the camper better by closing the privacy curtains on each bed. We didn't use the beds if we weren't sleeping, so it wasn't a big deal. The coldest we ever camped with it was down to 28 - 30 degrees. The Roo came with heated mattresses which made a big difference in staying warm while sleeping.
Even with 3 beds, it was quicker to setup than our Pop-up. After a few years the front bed started to leak. The seals looked good, but apparently they weren't doing the job. We had to replace the luan on the front bunk.
We really enjoyed the Hybrid, but we are outdoorsy. When we camped, we were outside and used the TT for sleeping, meals and to escape bad weather. Our kids were young when we bought it, 4 & 2, so we had plenty of room. Now that they are in their mid-teens, it would probably be too small for long term camping, which is how we camp now.
