Reese Trunion Head wearing? Sway happening
I am using a Reese Trunion style antisway system, Dual Cam, on my toy hauler. I have ~1,900 lbs of tongue weight. I have been using the system for just over 5 years and now I am starting to get sway....

Your quite a ways over the rating of the hitch.
I suspect that because the head has worn and the mounting holes elongated, the position of the spring bars has moved back towards the trailer. So now the cams aren't resting in the V of the spring bars anymore and the sway control can't work properly. In fact, it may be adding to the sway.
If the head is badly worn, replace it but other wise just adjust the cams so the bars nest completely again. That should help with sway control.
You might also thinkof moving up to stronger spring bars since you are so far above your existing bar's specs. That should help a lot.
