Friction anti-sway device use in rain or wet roads

But even going more slowly in the rain, say 55mph on the Interstate, avoiding steep grades, 10% tongue weight, balanced load, and properly-inflated tires, I could still potentially experience sway and an out-of-control condition?

Correct, as you can with any other sway control hitch. I saw a 18 wheeler swaying yesterday. There are too many variables out there. Heck you can experience a sway event on a perfect day with no wind on flat ground at 45 MpH given the right variables.

The beauty of the Friction bar hitches is you can adapt your hitch for conditions. What if you are caught in a snow event and forced to drive in snow. You can remove you sway bar and still have all the benefits of WD.

The trailer being properly set up will not sway...the friction bar will not stop a damaged trailer or out of control situation. It's not designed too. (No hitch will stop an out of control situation) The operator loading the trailer correctly and running properly maintained equipment will.

Relying on any type of sway control hitch to keep you in control means you don't have enough truck or your trailer isn't loaded correctly. WD does help prevent an out of control situation by restoring weight to the front axle which allows the operator to maintain control.

Thanks!
