Tell you what. Load your trailer 9% or less tongue weight and see how often your electronic sway control comes on. The reason your trailer acts the way it does is because it's designed and loaded correctly.
My trailer is designed and loaded correctly and I don't need any sway control.
I'll say it again, get the trailer correct the first time and don't Band-Aid things.
You can always have sway with any % of pin weight. I have a 5th wheel not a TT and the recommended pin weight is 25%. Mine loaded with the garage full is pushing 20k and it's pin with that weight is about 2650#. That is by your definition, not "set up" correctly and yet I have zero sway with very little intervention from the sway control. When it does kick in, it's not life saving, just nice to have. No one said it's curing cancer so let's not get all excited here. I just said it's nice to have just like the remote on your TV or any other "option." People have gotten by without it for years and could continue to. This doesn't mean it's not nice to have. If you don't like it, don't buy or use it. I do and am glad I have it.
