With a family I would seriously consider a suitable tow vehicle, such as an Surburban, Excursion, E250/2500 van, quad cab pickup, etc, to pull a travel trailer. Moving up is a matter of a larger trailer if you have properly oversized the tow vehicle with the expectation of buying larger trailers as the family grows..........
and your family safety is paramount, and with a good tow vehicle, you get properly designed seating/seatbelts, etc that are reasonably safe even in a serious accident. Even with seat belts, a couch or dinette seat in a motorhome is not the safest place for anyone, and it is really difficult to keep a good eye on small children when they are in the back and you are up front in a C class.
