the expandable fold outs you are talking about if I understand are hybrid trailers. Their pros are they get more space without much more weight. the trailer in general will be lighter/unit of open space than a travel trailer.
they are loved by some but not by me. to me the extra setup time and the fact that I now have canvas to care for (cant put away wet or dirty) is a big no. also they wont keep sound out like a hard sided trailer. they can be heated and cooled but it takes a bit more and humidity can be an issue. canvas has its place but to me its not on a travel trailer. if I wanted to deal with canvas I would get a popup that gives me a ton of space for the weight and is easy to pull and store. just my 2c good luck with whichever you choose. all are likely far better than the my old girl
