Thinking about possibilities

Our family enjoys camping. Tall Daddy and I started with a 3-person (really 2-person) tent and that was fine when B was 16mo. But when we went camping when Mini Little was 7weeks old and Medium Little was 3yo, that teeny tent was WAY too cozy. So we moved up to a 4-person tent (REI Base Camp 4 Tent). Love the Base Camp! But as the girls got older, we progressed to a 6-person tent (REI Kingdom 6 Tent). Love this tent, too! Not so much in love with the 4-hour set up and breakdown.

Our first thought was getting a Teardrop, but it seems that it might be way too small and possibly impossible for all four of us to fit inside.

What about a Pop Up or some other kind of trailer?

The Roaming Times has some great basic info on Teardrops,  Ultra Light Travel Trailers, and other Small Travel Trailers.

I also found a guide to Ultra-Lightweights from 2009.

Preliminary research leads us to the following three contenders:
