A trailer tent is simply a tent which opens out of a trailer and is then pitched very like a frame tent, with the trailer providing the bed area so you sleep off the ground. As said above, there is often a kitchen unit which travels on the drawbar of the trailer and is moved in to the awning once it is pitched. The awning is sometimes separate but generally is attached to the canvas which goes over the trailer/bed area so the unit cannot be pitched without it. And if it was you would only have a sleeping area, no living room or space for cooking. Even the main unit requires pegging out.
Our first trailer tent, which was a very old late 70s/early 80s Conway which we got second-hand 10 years ago, was one with the main canvas and awning all as one, it was 13ft wide and 18ft long and took us a good couple of hours to erect. The one we have now, which is about the same size, has a separate zip-on awning which makes it easier to put up. If we are only camping for one night we don't use the awning, we just erect the sleeping area, put a windbreak round the front and cook outside. I think all the large modern trailer tents have separate awnings now, and you can even get zip-on extensions for some of them. That's my next goal - persuading OH that we REALLY DO need an extension on ours!
