I'm leery of the former, and don't have the budget for the latter.
I'm in a similar situation with a family of 4 and and seriously contemplating a no-build minivan campervan conversion for our existing Sienna. I thought about a small teardrop trailer, but it seemed to be too few pros, relative to the cons of trailers, towing, and storage.

The below video is the best guide I've seen on how to do this. Ironically - minivans are in hot demand and tough to get thanks to #minivanlife booming as the "affordable" option (relative to a Sprinter/Transit conversion)
