We have a 2005 Combi camp Venezia. 2 adults and 3 children (5, 10, 15) in the 2 x double bed format. Gives us enough space.
We have the rear two bed annex which covers the hitch and front locker so a good place for a toilet, hanging wet suits, storing stuff etc. The rear annex has the two person tent insert which 15 year old sleeps in.
We keep the front main awning and rear awning attached so putting up is quite quick, about 1 hour from start to finish, including pegging and setting up table and chairs, beds etc.
We have attached 4 relatively cheap (from Halfords, approx £18 each) bike carriers so can carry 4 bikes, surfboard and storage boxes on the rear. It is a braked trailer and I moved the axle forward to reduce nose weight (simple job).
The build quality is very good and having the kitchen set up in 1 minute is great - we store all utensils, pots and pans etc, and most of the food in the drawers etc.
Inside the trailer we also carry, dining table, four lightweight folding stools (with backrests), sleeping bags x5, camping mat (for rear bed annex), wetsuits x5, barbequ, 2 recliners.
In the front box goes the gas, water bottle, charcoal, camping light etc.
Only thing in the car is cloths and pillows.
Poles go in a length of 4" pipe strapped underneath at the back.
On the roof rack part we carry surfboards etc. A Maxxrax carries the bikes.
Go for it. With a large family they are much better than a Camplet.
If you buy used you can try without to high an expenditure.
