Ah....you've got a hy-brid.
We thought about that type and up till a few years ago you could buy a
new one for less than $20K.
Since our climate is mostly cool and damp, I thought a normal small
enclosed model would be best but then again, the wife probably wouldn't
be interested in camping before the middle of June or after mid October.
Maybe I'll rethink hy-brids.


I guess it depends on how much you will use it. I didn't think I'd care
for the hy-brid type but again, for our occasional use just to "get
away" for a weekend or even a week, it works out fine. The canvas on
the fold outs on the one we bought is in excellent shape because the guy
I bought it from was a nit about things. When he deployed the ends he
always put a tarp on top of the canvas to protect them from the sun and
dirt.

If we were more serious RV travelers I think I'd be looking for
something very different.


The problem I see with some of those pop-outs like on a pop up trailer is
the time to setup and takedown. When we drove to Alaska, one of the
couples had a pop up trailer. They are fine for a weekend, but a pain for
one day. I like the Chalet for a pop up. Seems to take only a few
minutes to convert.
