We stopped towing our TT almost 3 years ago, due to a number of reasons, including problems with sway that we simply could not overcome no matter what we did. Of course, one of my bigger issues was PTSD from a terrible roll-over in 2010 which made it difficult for me--I felt every buffet of wind and every draft of an 18-wheeler, so I was like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Is it any better in a MH? We have our TT parked permanently and have no desire to ever tow again. But I'd love to be able to visit other places again. I just know that I would be extremely nervous if cross-winds cause problems with driving.
We've never had a problem with any of them, but to be rather sure of one, even after a test drive at speed, It's best to buy one with as little overhang behind the rear wheels, as possible and with a long wheel base, like in a 36ft or more. You'll see this shortness in overhang, if you will, with the higher end DP's and some of the older gas coaches that have a tag axle. Also keep your cruising speed down, which will save fuel and make your overall trip more relaxing and enjoyable.
There are after market products as well for making things a bit better and depending on what you have.
