Welcome.... Our camping began with a boating trip and a remote on shore camp. The tent was a tarp draped over a rope tied between two trees. Our bed was the boat cushions. During a night time lightning/rain storm the raccoons broke into our food box. Working our way up we now have a bumper pull toy hauler. I didn't want to give up the covered truck bed for storage then later a place to take the dogs, in trade to pull a fiver. Your family is small, yet, so you probably don't need a lot of plush space. A trip with two dogs convinced us that even if we couldn't ride toys anymore nor had dogs we would still have a toy hauler for the convenience of the open space to convert to whatever we needed. On a Yellowstone trip we had the dogs, their beds, a couple coolers, trash can, extra table for misc. "stuff", folding chairs, etc. Our trailer came with a carpet to put down when not hauling ATVs. An accessory "wall" pulled down to hide the ramp/wall. The TV was mounted in the "garage" section as not to give us cross-eyes looking at it 7'feet across the trailer. When boondocking you can drop the ramp and experience the "all outdoors" while being inside. No one can advise you of what's best for you. I guess you just have to consider the pros & cons of what's best for others and apply them to your situation. A trailer of your size will have a front permanent bed. Most TH have the PITA pull-down bunks in the rear. I would INSIST on a Murphy Bed in place of the pull-down bunks. Bulky, always in the way, pull downs were invented by Satan..... IMO ... One good thing, you have the horse to handle anything you decide to buy...
Happy shopping..
