I chose a 15RB hybrid over the 16BH. Usually there is only two of us using the trailer but occasionally there are a couple more and the 15RB will sleep 5 which includes the sofa. For us the tip-out sometimes provides extra sleeping area, or sometimes a large storage area while camping, or sometimes we just leave it closed when just staying overnight. The 15RB has a lot more living area than the 16BH, which when we need to spend more time indoors, that's a great benefit.
As far as folding up wet fabric on the tip-out, its certainly not any worse than rolling up a wet awning, and nothing like a pop-up camper.
Some of my other small campers I have owned can be seen at
