A little advice (that applies to all trailers, not just hybrids) - tow with all vents and windows closed. Otherwise, the flow of air over the vents will cause negative pressure to develop inside the trailer and water (rain) will be drawn in through whatever tiny openings there might be that otherwise wouldn't be a problem.
It also sounds like some brands have more issues than others.
since the first hybrid came out in 1998, a lot of the growing pains were still around by 2000.
it's taken awhile to iron out the hybrid design and leakage issues have dropped significantly, since 2000.

All this information is fantastic! Thanks to you all for your responses. Any pointers on what to do when we pick-up the trailer and on usage of the trailer (eg. one of our friends told us to put anti-freeze fluid in the pipes when not being used and to buy a trailer-specific cover for storage)?

are you still planning to buy a Roo 183 and tow it with the Enclave?

the 21BH is about the same weight as the 183, but it has a much heavier tongue weight. almost 100lbs. heavier.
be sure to take this in consideration, along with the WDH's weight on the Enclave's tonge.
there should be a hitch weight max listed in the Enclave's manual, with WDH and without WDH.
