Hi  Derkav.

                 The campers you mentioned are folding campers not really trailer tents .The penine pulman does not have a toilet it,s the penine pathfinder that has the toilet or the Conway crusader .They  are a little longer and heavier than the normal 6 berth campers ie pulman , cruiser ,ect.

Basically a folder camper is a caravan base with the built in units ,fridge  sink cooker wardrobe act. extending beds but canvas roof and sides.  Trailertents  usually have an outside kitchen a bit more basic, but usually  smaller and lighter packed away.

Having  owned both I much prefer the folding camper .It only takes 20 minutes to erect the main unit and have the choice of whether to erect the awning or not ,with no pegging down .With  my  trailertent I always had to erect the whole unit and peg it all down. Some on this site will jump down my neck ,but at the end of the day it,s all down to personal choice ,pros and cons.

The pathfinder, crusader or dandy destiny are all great campers and have toilets along with one of the triganos  ,which do tend to be a little cheaper. The newer Conway crusaders are made by penine.

   Hope this gives you some idea  GCB
