Semper FI Marine. I was in from 2001 - 2005 did a tour in Okinawa. Now I'm back in Montana.
As for trailers, there are a lot to be had for the money your willing to spend. However, I'm not sure of the onboard generator in the typical TT setup. I have one in my toy hauler and I've seen them often on the 5ers but not on the TTs.
I think to sleep 8 you are going to want to get either a bunkhouse with quad bunks or a toyhauler with the dual bunks in the garage area. Those bunks in the TH are nice as they are 90"x60" and large enough for 2 or 3 kids a peice. The TH might be worth a look for you since you will be hauling the ATV anyway. With your DRW you could even get a decent 5ver model. Another benefit is that the toyhaulers are usually ready for a onboard generator (wiring, fuel and exhaust) to be installed if it doesn't have one already in it.
Here is an example for a Thor for sale in Washington somewhere. You said PNW so... there are more to had.

If you don't want to go the TH route I would suggest a TT made by either Northwood (Artic Fox, Nash etc..) or Outdoors RV (Creek Side, Timber Ridge) These brands are typically better in construction and have a custom chassis specifically built for the trailers. They don't use crappy Lippert frames. Also, they offer better insulation for the cold climates up here.
Best of luck to you..
