There is no issue with the folding tongue. It's still stronger than the stationary single beam tongue on the 4x4 trailer. The tongue weight shouldn't exceed 500 lbs anyhow, so if someone is breaking their folding tongue, they were doing it wrong all along. Being able to fold the trailer is a huge bonus if you don't have the room to store it.
I was able to get 2 cars, a motorcycle, futon, ping pong table, and the folding trailer into my 2 car garage. If left out in the rain, the plywood decking would probably rot out.
No doubt there are many better trailers, but if you're talking about hauling camping gear, there is no reason to over-engineer and over spend.
