We also have the Trigano 575LX, and love it.  The only reason we are contemplting changing to a caravan is so we can go away in the winter without worrying about drying out the canvas if it gets wet, also we would like an internal toilet for night-times when we are not using the awning, I must mention at this point that we are still looking at newer folding campers with this option just in case. The main benefits of a folding camper to us against most caravans is that you have the two double beds made up all the time, the privacy curtains can just be zipped up duirng the day.  The living area is very large in ours,The 415 would give you less living area which was not suitable for us being a family of 5 (children, 13, 11 & 10). The awning is massive, and we are also fortunate to have a zip in side pod for our awning which easliy sleeps an extra 2 people. I don't think you'd be disappointed with a folding camper.

We got swopped our trialer tent for a folding camper last year - great move - so much easier as everything is inside.
Ours is an ancient wind up one which is really easy to put up.

As for being cramped with a family of four - not really.   i am not saying that it is very spacious inside the main body but not cramped either.   Last year it was so wet most days that even the awning didn't appeal, so we spend loads of time sitting in the camper itself.   Just sat at the table playing games, or on the beds.

OK I've not towed ours due to the fact that my poor little Saxo couldn't pull it - but Richard says that it is easy to pull.

Yes we still have our tents, but Richard loves sleeping off the floor, as he tends ot get arthritis.
