Useless Information: An Avalon, Niagara, HW296, HW277 will all have much more room than a 23' Hybrid. Try a 30' Hybrid and compare because when an Avalon or a HW296 is opened, it's 30'.
If you truly believe that, more power to you LOL.

We are looking to get a popup for our family of 6 for local travel and are currently looking at the Rockwood HW296, but i am not a fan of Berkshire Hathaway products.
Does anyone know of any other big pop ups available?
Thanks!

Seems like you're trying to talk yourself into this 6 person in a popup scenario. Having owned 4 over the years I can tell you that sleeping 6 in one is possible, but don't ever expect it not to be uncomfortable and a royal PITA with a capital P.
We had a Coleman Avalon, that's a highwall with a 16' box, tandem axle. Most likely the largest popup ever offered. I would never have considered 6 people on even a long weekend trip in that thing as I would not have wanted to go through all the work involved.
Get lots of plastic bins.....and a truck with a cab high fiberglass cap and 8' bed, as you'll need it. You can say storage will not be an issue all you want but it will.
Why not a 3 bunk hybrid? You can probably get out the door pricing less than the FR highwall if you play the cards right.

Comparing to my 17 Roo 23WS. I was out the door total for a few dimes over $19K. My GVWR is 6400.
Those Rockwood high walls are all over RV trader for around $18K to $19K and I would guess you could get one @ $16K, maybe a little less. GVWR @ 5000.

In all honesty as s multiple pup owner I know the ins and outs. Not one bit of food storage in 8, 10, 12, 14, and sixteen feet.
Anything larger than 12 feet on single axles offers low ccc. Any highwall needs a dual axle setup.
My current 12 foot unit I went without a cassette shower setup to at least get a 3 foot counter. I top of counter I put a Cabelas folding dresser. Gets one side for me and one for girlfriend to pack.
Kids on trip whether mine or her 1. Or multiple. Logistical difficulties on clothes storage. Good food storage and towels
Shower suspension shelf whether in pos 8 foot to overweight 16 feet
Food storage hmmmm. 1.9 to 3 cubic fridge Doable for my tribe fir 2 days but add 1 to 3 more days or kids all bets are off and it's big coolers.
Cooking. No placd for pots and pans or necessary silverware. All pups
All pots and pans and service for 4 goes in a chuck box.
Did I mention all gear goes in truck
Did I mention one ton truck
Big cooler,six bags, 10 towels and a chuck box and six passengers
My old hybrid in profile picture could sleep 6 adults but would have at least 2 of them self support themselves fully with bags and provisions in the truck.
My tow vehicle has 2451 pounds of payload, 4 captain seats, and comparable to many 3/4 ton pickup trucks. I removed my 3rd tow tumbler to gain more storage space.
