There are twwo drawbacks to the TT with foldouts.
1. Security....it's easy to cut through the tent material. So if you will be away from the TT you'll need to close up the foldouts each time.
2. Cold & Heat- The tent material doesn't offer much in the way of insulation. Your heater and AC will have to work harder.
I would only consider a hard side trailer. And would look at larger used units for the best value. Most people take good care of their RVs you can find great barely used units. Larger RVs offer more space in the living areas and bathrooms. With the right tow vehicle and hitch setup it's no difference between towing a 19 or 30 footer other than allowing more room for turns.
