I agree with every one else, I love our Hybred. The biggest complaint I have is that our Starcraft doesn't have any drawers. I would have liked to have some by the sink for utensils, towels, etc. One of these days Sal is going to do a mod to put some drawers in and add some pull out shelves for the pots and pans, etc.

I forgot to mention another problem I have, is that I have a hard time lighting the oven. It seems to take forever for the pilot light to catch. Anyone else have that problem?

Yes I did my first time partially because I was a newbie. I used to have problems on my niagara lighting the water heater.

I found it helps to light all the burners on the inside stove for 30 sec. to a minute to get the propane flowing in the lines.

I think I would like more counter space in the kitchen. I'm really itching to go camping I've only had the hybrid out once

having a slideout topper installed on Monday. The dangerous part is I'll have about an hour to wonder around camping world :yikes:

The one thing that drives me nuts in the Jayco, is the water around the sink in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Both sinks are designed where the faucets are separate from the sinnk with no way to catch the water from your hands turning the water on and off.  While a minor pain, it still means wiping the sinks after use.

Ooops, one other thing, I wish they had put in a better quality shower curtain with some sort of design on it instead of the plain white plastic.

Other than that, I can't think of a thing I do not like about the hybrid.

We lived in it for two months and those were the only two things we didn't like.

Quote from: griffsmomI didn't make myself clear.   I was trying to use the drain and condensation as examples of problems that seem to be common to a particular type of camper.  My bad. :o

I'm curious as to what to expect if we were to get a hybrid, b/c sometimes I think that by buying a different camper to solve problems or things we don't like with our current camper, if we're not just excanging old problems for new ones.  What I should have asked is what is the most common problem you've had with your hybrid?  Sorry for the confusion--hope I cleared it up. :)


OK, here's my take on this....any kind of activity that is done requires a certain amount of "work".
I started off tenting in my early twenties...a lot of work...but a lot of fun.

After a couple of children showed up, we got into our first pop-up. A little less work in some areas, but still some work was involved in the process. NOTE: More fun was had.

I thought that when I moved into the ROO that I'd have less work to do.
WRONG! I just traded some jobs for other jobs. BUT my fun factors have increased.

So....basically, you trade off, you don't have to crank, but you still fold out beds.

That's my spin on it.....your mileage may vary.

I don't have any specific "problem" with my unit, but I have yet to find the "perfect" camper.

I started off the same way tenting...PUing.. now a hybrid. While yes you have to put out the beds, the hybrid is always usable. Long trips you can stop anywhere (rest stop, large parking lot) and feed the kids, go potty and continue on in the pu we always stuggled with finding a place to get lunch and get the PU thru.  

I've only done one trip s far and I haven't traded any problems other than I can't use a BAL leveler and the WDH weighs a ton.
