Doesn't matter how big the window looks to be ...  only the bottom 6-8 inches will open ...

I would think that in a Hybrid there would be plenty of air flow when you open all the windows in the bunk ends......then again, I have never camped in one.  But that is my thought.

Yes Matt is correct..  if you were to unzip the bunk end windows you would still get plenty of air flow ..    For some reason I was only thinking about the hardside windows ...

Opening the bunk ends is only good when weather permits.
My Keystone Passport's windows all open 1/2 way. I don't understand why so many HTT's don't allow that.
A lot of them open 1/4 or 1/8 of the window and I've seen some with unopening windows as well.

If you look you'll see the side windows on our Outback, the lower 1/2 of the windows open ...  Now between the windows on both sides, the 2 on rear slide out queen bed and the full screen door, we can get quite a breeze..  this before opening the two roof vents or operating the stove fan or a/c fan ...

Not sure if you are talking about the hard-sided windows, but ours has three of these...  We get plenty of airflow and viewing acreage when set up.  I would expect that any hybrid will have more "window" space (tent end screened windows) than most TT's hard-sided windows provide.

Here's what our hard-sided windows look like from inside...

It was important to us that any hybrid be bright inside and that all the windows opened 1/2 slide to allow air and light in.

This pic is from one bunk end looking to the other.

So many campers don't have windows that slide (like your house) to allow air to easily pass through.
A lot have windows that tilt out ( don't want to hit my head on one of those when I'm outside) or are just too small.

Our surveyor has windows similar to storm troopers

These slide open horizontally so approx. half the window allows ventilation. Plus with 2 full doors with full screen doors and the two bunk ends. I believe we'll have plenty of opportunity for air flow and or enjoying the view of the parks we stay at.
Note the view of the 2 windows on the street side are somewhat darkened because these pics were taken with the camper parked in our yard along side of the fence
