Pop-up trailer for newbies.

I have family members (nephew, wife, twin 5 year old boys, and 10 year old girl) who have become interested in getting a pop-up trailer for their minivan. Currently, they are tenting. My questions:
1. Who makes these trailers and which companies are the most reliable?
2. What features should they look for? Which aren't worthwhile?
3. What other factors should they consider?

We are long time RV'ers with B class campers but I know very little about the pop-ups. I intended to ask this in the folding trailer section but that seems pretty much dead. I'm fairly certain that they aren't interested in a hard sided foldable.
Thanks.
  • Jayco and I think Forest River make popups. Like with any trailer they are going to want to figure out the towing capacity of the minivan before doing anything else.

    A porta potty in the trailer is nice. a tipout or pull out slide would be nice.
