It has MORE friction when moving away from center, and LESS friction when returning to center, but it does NOT push the TT back to center. The TT returns to center on it's own, just like a TT with no away control at all will. The DC actually will slow down the return to center somewhat due to the friction....This is probably a good thing.
Not sure if the load in the TV would really change the DC setup but what I do just in case is before I hook up to the TT I use the airbags I installed on the truck to return the TT to the height it was at when I setup the DC. Also, IMO its not the size of the friction area that makes the DC effective but instead its the bars pushing the A-frame back into a straight line.
No. The trailer will want to return to center because of the cams! Think of it as trying to pull a log out of a ditch as opposed to dragging one across the flat ground. Let go of the log in the ditch half way up and it will go back to the bottom. Same theory goes to the dual cam. Now stop dragging the log on the ground at will stay where it stops (friction sway bar/EQ). Very simple physics really!
