I am one of the many (I suspect) people who got hooked on the idea at the latest Brisbane Caravan and Trailer show. We went along there to see what was for sale, and I was impressed with the thought and ingenuity behind many of the camper trailers we looked at. Also, they were cheaper than we expected, so we got very enthusiastic about buying one.
We looked at everything from soft floors (a term we had not heard before), through hard floors to popup caravans. Even one strange but intriguing A frame shaped one. We decided the low end of the market, a soft floor was actually what we wanted.
After looking at quite a few, we found a very friendly fellow who impressed us, both with his product and the way he explained things. It was also nice that it was a local SE QLD company. We took the brochures and went home to sleep on it, but in the morning, we were still keen, so I rang up the company, talked to the guy's wife, and placed an order.
We now await the deliver of a an SUV Roader from Emu Camper Trailers

The plan is to train ourselves in using it on a couple of short trips this year, and take a BIG trip next year to Darwin (staying on the good roads
)
