Go to a local dealership or several and see what they have that you, but especially the wife, can't live without. Remember that your two kids WILL grow up and get larger. Prepare for that. If you get a small trailer, you will outgrow it quickly and have to purchase a larger one.
Look for the floorplan you like and take into consideration pulling the trailer, storing the trailer and then living in the trailer (in case of inclement weather). This will narrow down your choices.
Look at the construction and finishes within the trailers that you like and then narrow it down even further.
This should give you 3 or 4 trailers for you to definitely consider, then start lookiing at the owner's forums for those makers. Remember that on the forums, you are pretty much going to see the negatives, not the positives. Very few people go on a forum to tell what a great trailer they got, they will tell about the problems.
More than the quality of construction, find a dealer that has a good reputation for standing behind their products and you will have a much better time.
