Unfortunately 1000kg isn't too much to play with, and with around 340 (ballpark) kg of GVM to play with, assuming 80 to 100kg is ballweight alone by a 10 percent guide. Limits you to 240kg of total vehicle weight remaining... take yourself, wife and kids from that figure and you can pretty much have spare clothes, a battery, and a jerry, again assuming you're cleanskin only on the wrangler.
It'd leave you to a lightweight softfloor camper at best I'm sorry to say, but not unachievable. I'm not sure how heavy MARS/CUB etc are. Maybe even a lightweight on-road rear fold could suit but you'd have to check weights. Next to no storage in them either and with 2 kids, 80Lt water etc etc it'd be a very tight squeeze on the weight budget. After setting up my soft floor for a night away the mrs suggested a forward fold upgrade needed to happen ASAP, so depending how hard a sell it is to your wife, it's something to think about.
Don't discount a big roof top tent, or a lightweight box trailer with a big roof top on it, or awning each side with the tent setup
(say from Kings)It's all dependent on your requirements. Electric brakes on a standard 8x5 cage trailer gives you upto 600kg of wriggle room up to your tonne.
Sorry to be 'that' guy mate but would hate to read of insurance being nullified or being booked.
