Swing up jockey wheels

I'm speccing out my new Cub camper trailer and the dealer doesn't advise them because they are "too flimsy", but plenty of owners on the Cub forums like them.

Being one of those nomads that cruise along at around 90kph (LC200 and 2.5t van) it does surprise me at times to be rounded up by fellow caravan owners doing easily 110kph, towing sometimes quite large vans.
