I think the clipper is one of the smaller ones, have a look at it and see if it suits your needs.  If it doesn't there are plenty of other models on ebay for a good price.  You'll definitely be warmer in bed as the beds are 3ft off the ground.

We started off with a clipper. Loved it but now have a bigger Conway Camargue. Lovely and big for two and definitely warmer than other tents. Sleeping area is nice and tent pulls over the poles in one piece. Grab it and try it if you dont like it sell it on, someone will buy it. Hope you enjoy it if you go for it.

A clipper was our first trailer tent, too. We absolutely loved it. Go for it and enjoy!

A clipper awning is 12 by 8 feet, that's 96 square feet.

That's enough to have a kitchen with cooking table on one side, and a table and chairs or just easy chairs on the other. You could always eat up in the trailer. There wouldn't be that much room to play indoors on a wet day unless it was drawing at a table or something.

The kids can of course always sleep in under bed tents, so there is no need to take up room in the awning with beds.

 

To put it in perspective, a Raclet Jasmine (a typical large TT) has a 14 by 15 foot awning, or 210 square feet - more than twice as much.

 

Some Trigano TTs have an awning as big as 15 feet by 20 feet, or 300 square feet!
