Bad idea! Sway starts out slow but but increases in severity until it slowly goes away. Sometimes it doesn’t go away and the worst happens!
In a sway situation right when it starts is when you reach for the lever. And you don’t need to fully engage it it only needs to be partially engaged. On my Prodigy when I had it you only needed to move the lever a bit for the brakes to engage. However most people that start out towing have no idea what sway is or what to do to counter act it! Those of us that have been towing for a long time have properly setup trailer and have no sway. I experienced it once (very minor) at our next stop I rearranged stuff and never had any away again.
It all depends on who is behind the wheel as to what will happen!
