Chris and I were looking at pop-up campers, but have been sidetracked by these hybrid deals. Hard sided, but have beds that fold out of each end. Anybody have/had one of these? We would be pulling with a Grand Cherokee 4.7v8, so need something fairly small and light. Any pointers, brands to recommend or to not recommend?
 
You might want to check out the forums at www.rv.net There's a bunch of good info over there, along with a section dedicated to hybrids. We've got a 26' MaxLite (non-hybrid, 29' with tongue) & are pulling it with a '99 Grand Cherokee 4.7 & towing pkg. Eventually, we'll upgrade to something with a longer wheelbase for improved stability. Until then, we're maxing out at 55mph & staying to good roads whenever possible.

Ours weighs 4500# dry as configured. We fugured on adding about 500# - 700# of stuff to it when travelling. Our max towing capacity is about 7000#, with a max length of 30'. Do yourselves a favor & get a good weight-distributing hitch & sway control setup.
