Cheap Sway Control
Would something like this for $45 be perfectly fine for a 15' (19' bumper to tongue) trailer, pulled by a 1/2 ton truck: Curt Manufacturing 17200 Sway Control Kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...

I think what he is saying is that the air pushes the boxy travel trailer around a lot more than a car trailer...from all directions
My race car trailer is a 28 footer that is totally enclosed. It's taller, wider and weighs more than my TT and tows dead nuts straight with 0 sway. So much for assumptions.
OP, listen to Mower. Get your TT to not sway in any condition. Then if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy get a sway bar if you want. I personally think it's ridicules to put a sway control bar on a 15' TT towed by a 1/2 ton pickup but that is just me. If it makes you feel good, go for it.
Friction sway bars are like taking an aspirin when you have a nail stuck in the bottom of your shoe. Will it help with the pain? Yes it will. But it's not the best way to take care of the problem. IPW's. fix the base problem first. (if there even is one?)
The OP has a 15' trailer. A 15 footer!!!! Gesus, it's not like the guy is pulling a 40 footer with a Chevy Luv in 50 MPH side winds!!!
