We upgraded some years ago from a Cabanon Athena Tent to a Cabanon Jupiter Trailer tent and we are glad we did. You tend to get more space in a trailer tent for a start and it's much warmer in the raised bed inner tents.
The beds themselves are a decent size. We have invested in a memory foam mattress for the inner tents and then we use duvets rather that sleeping bags.
We also found that the tent itself is very secure in windy and wet weather. We were in a really bad storm a few years ago and our tent stood firm while others were wrecked around us.
Sometimes we just use the basic bedroom end and set that up rather than putting up all of the awning as well. Once you get practised, the actual initial setting up of the bed area is just a few minutes - it's the pegging out that takes the time.
Pack the trailer bit up with as much stuff as you can,you'll be surprised at what you can get in, then you can use the car for clothes and food. If you are not going to use the underbed tents for children, then use them for storage. If the weather is really chilly, you can close off the bed compartment and warm it through with a heater - then you don't get into bed cold.
Hope this helps
