Greetings,
New to forums here, but have been lurking for a while.
Anyway, my DW and I are currently looking at getting a travel trailer. We have stayed at FW a few times in the cabins, and honestly FW is part of the reason we want a RV (we already have reservations for full hookup site at FW in Dec 2018). One of the models we are looking at is a 2018 Jayco X19H. One of our main concerns in getting a hybrid vs. a regular hard TT is temperature control. Being cold is not a big issue, but being hot is.
We figure the absolute worse for heat would be Disney in August (that’s our anniversary and we usually stay at POR). So, I am asking for advice/comments from those with hybrid or pop-up experience with camping at FW in August (or summer in general). I want to know if we could expect to keep the temp inside a comfortable 70’s during the day and low 70’s or below at night? The X19H we are looking does have the 15K A/C, and we would be getting covers for the pop outs.
Also, one of the other TTs we are looking at is a 2018 Keystone Bullet Crossfire 2200BH, so I welcome any advice/opinions about the quality of the two, on choosing between the Bullet Crossfire and the Jay Feather, or hard sided vs hybrid.
Both are towable by my F-150, but the 2200BH is about 250-300lbs heavier and almost 5ft longer, so I am a bit concerned about towing it and would require cutting 150-200lbs of cargo. I expect about 800lb of cargo, so the bullet would have to go down to 600lbs or so. A new tow vehicle is in the future, but the bullet would make that sooner rather than later.
In general, I feel the Jayco could be the risky choice (It think we would either love it, or hate it), and the crossfire is the low risk choice (I think we would like it).
