Thanks again for all the responses, I'm learning so much!  It's a lot to sort through.
Wes, you made some points that I have been considering also. We can't afford the best tow vehicle and TT I wish we could. The expy we are looking at is a little over half the price it was new, with only 25k miles on it. We are still doing our research but may likely go with whatever small trailer we can tow with it. Like I mentioned I'm not trying to squeeze us all in a trailer it's just not going to happen. A bathroom, kitchenette, a bed is all we want. Kids love sleeping outside. We are plenty used to car camping just adding a little convenience. (man how i hate that 2 am trek to the bathroom!) And living in sunny california I think I've made peace with the 2x4 and carrying chains. Thanks for the idea about the awning/room attached that's a great idea!
