Narrowed our search down to hybrid trailers. Wanting some advice on several brands as far as quality and bang for the buck. Considering the Jayco Jay Feather x172, Shamrock Roo 19, Palomino Solaire 163x, Surveyor 192t. Just want some opinions on these brands if you could?

I hope you get some help.. but this is a R-Pod forum, and honestly we don't get many members who have moved to, or from, what is essentially the same size trailer.. people usually move larger or smaller. I note you don't include the R-pod hybrids in your list..?

Well after looking in the hybrids and many other trailers, you'll be happy to know that we've decided on an Rpod! Looked in them again today and the room was about the same as in the hybrids and wont have to worry with setting up the beds or leaking through the tip outs, and a hard side will offer more security too.

Your search sounds just like ours last year.
We liked the Sol Aire too but it was one the heavy side. We ended up with the RPOD 176-T.
We have had a blast with it. I don't think too many people have the tent model so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks guys! We ended up with a new 2014 178 model. The wife liked the 2015 179 the best but the only one local was used and the price on the 178 seemed fair to me.
