no just wondering what some of these cheap ones would be like for doing a few days here and there while we are you at the kids, also let them use it when we are not there

Cowboy - we had a camper trailer for 10 years - Dingo was the brand, available in Dandenong Victoria - the price was very reasonable, had none of the bells and whistles, but it never leaked, we paid $4300 and sold it for $3500 10 years later - it was very "experienced" looking - red dust gets into everything - but it was a very tough unit - we bought the off road version - took it eveywhere. Right round the country, into the Bungle Bungles, down the Oodnadatta, and many other off road places - never had a problem. Very quick to erect - has an internal frame - friends have just paid $43,000 for another brand, takes them at least half an hour to get it up and "livable", we could be in bed in 15 minutes!!!
Don't know what brand you were looking at, but I would have no hesitationin recommending the Dingo.

Be careful of cheap CTs....Chinese imports are not the quality of Aussie made ones...you might get 20 years of an Aussie made canvas....only a couple of years from an import......I've seen some silky type of material ones ...also some are cheap cause they are very low when erected.......and trailers come kit form
