The jayco is as good as anything else for your needs.
The two fold outs at the end are good as it leaves a lot of room inside for eating etc.
The fold out beds can get pretty cold, at night Bot thee's not much else around that would be as easy to tow that would suit your needs.

MySwag has plenty of useful info as mentioned.
Also check out www.campertrailers.org as they have a nice comprehensive list of all the different brands.
The Jayco certainly sounds like a good one, otherwise you'd probably be looking at a soft floor camper for the room you would need.

Hi Haybon
Jayco 's are great , but make sure it has a annex , not just a awning
not much room for a large family inside the camper
check out a solf floor camper , gain some space & save some money
Cheers coley

what are you going to do... spend a nice day inside your camper?
"not much room for a large family inside the camper"
Our Eagle will sleep 6 with eaze.

It's true, most of the time you just want somewhere to sleep, but it's nice to have an option in nasty weather, I'm sure we all know how
well kids and confined spaces get along!
However inside a caravan would probably be just as cosy as a camper with all the beds set up, either way you still have to
cook outside under the awning when a camper is concerned. Of course all this is assuming you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up extra rooms that you can have with a camper.
