A properly built, properly loaded trailer will NOT sway!
If you do encounter trailer sway, there will be no doubt in your mind what it is! The trailer will start to sway side to side in ever increasing arcs. Applying the TRAILER brakes will stop the sway momentarily. Slowing down may help prevent the sway. The important thing is, do NOT install a "sway control" thinking it will solve the problem. Find out what is wrong with the trailer, FIX IT, and then, if the sway control will make you feel better, get one.
