Gday all. I am new to myswag after spending months on the hunt for our families first CT. If I could get some help from seasoned campers it would be much appreciated. Some background, I currently reside in Toowoomba and am looking to take the family mainly to caravan parks...nothing to off road. Our Santa Fe's tow bar is limited to a 1.2tonne pulling capacity and 100kg on the ball.
This has pushed me into the direction of a simple 7x4 soft floor trailer, 2nd hand with a budget of 5k. There are a few Making Tracks CTs in the area and seem decent. I have a family of 5 which include 3 under 9. The link below are the ads I have been mulling over for weeks trying to blindly choose a top 3 to check out

If anyone has the time to have a look and offer advice I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks
Nobby

A very quick look and these stood out, With 3 kids you can probably rule out a lot of the smaller ones (doable but not ideal). All have different +& - but your best positioned to know what will and won't likely matter to you.

Welcome to myswag.
Three kids in a soft floor will require a 10 foot tent at a minimum, even better a 12 foot. Just be aware that the annexes on the imported CTs normally have heaps and heaps of sometimes flimsy poles. Pain in the rear to set up and scary in a storm.
Happy camping
