I believe the op asked if there was an issue using non breathable groundsheets, and I answered that we haven't had any problems. A groundsheet can be lifted if necessary, or a breathable can be used with a PVC over the top when the weather is bad, but I've yet to go on a trip dry enough to do without a waterproof floor.
A trailer tent has little off ground living space, in our previous units only the beds were off the floor, and a dry awning floor to get out of bed onto is quite important to us. You wouldn't expect a tent to have a breathable groundsheet, in fact most have sewn in groundsheets, yet campsites seem to cope, and have done for many years.
Lastly, the grass is in a far better state with the PVC than it was when we tried a breathable, that cut it up because the ground was so wet. Instead of some yellowing, which will recover, we left a load of mud!
-------------
All the best,
Alison
