Personally I'd look at getting the biggest trailer you can afford. Ours is 6x4 or 7x4 I think and still needs to be bigger as we just tend to leave more of the optional stuff in it. If your somewhat handy just buy 2nd hand and refurbish and extend it yourself.

we have the erde 122 and we put everything but the tent,poles and extension in it. oh and the holdalls of clothes!
everything else,beds,chairs,table,kitchen stand,bedding etc,food box goes in the trailer
if you get the extension for it,you increase the capacity by a further 50% too

I have an arde 122 which is plated to 400kg but you would never get 400kg of camping gear in the available space. You could get the extension sides for it but as others have advised get the biggest trailer you can provided you have storage at home for it.

we have an erde 122 with a hard top, and a large roof box. We get the portaloo, the two underbed storage boxes, that have kitchen bits in, another crate with the ehu, lights, pump, and other bits, we get the swingball, the cooker, the bucket and gas bottle, the tent carpet, the airbeds, the table, the chairs, the footprint and the tent. Oh the water carrier too, so we have clothing in the car, bedding and the kitchen stand go in the boot, and bobs ur uncle. Lol, but to be honest, it'll do, but i wish we had the size up. But the bigger the trailer, the more stuff you can take.....

Go for the biggest trailer you can afford, our erde 143 with high sides and hard top and a roof box and it's maxed out leaving the three way fridge and clothes in the car.
