i had a 19 foot Hybrid .. (stampede palomino S195)

PROs
- easy to tow // didnt require a full size truck
- more space than a convential 19' trailer because the beds were outside the "footprint"
- loved how the wind moved through it when the windows and canvas were open.

CONs
- a pain the arse to put up if it was raining or had been raining
- couldnt just sit and have a coffee once it was folded up (unless you liked the mattresses in your way)
- condensation on the canvas
- bears. some campsites would not allow it since it wasnt a true hard sided trailer. besides, its nice to have the four hard walls for privacy.

Dont get me wrong, it was a good trailer and served us well. When we buy a new one though it wont be a hybrid.
