Help me understand sway - 6K trailer, 2001 Expedition

Former trailer was a 65 Boles Aero 27-footer. This was a very well made trailer, on a par with Airstream (don't tell them that) It towed beautifully with just a simple WD hitch. No sway control. ...

Just for fun, let's take tongue weight off the list.

This trailer has the bath and waste tanks aft of the axles. The fresh tank over the axles.

Other than the kitchen cabinets there is no storage forward of the axles.

So if you load it up for a long trip it will be heavy in the back and there is nothing you can do about it.

Right now the tanks probably have about 25 gallons in them. Most of the storage is empty.
