I'd put studs on the trailer too. To me, a tow rig with studs, and no major traction ability on the trailer, is no different than a FWD rig with studs on the front, normal street tires on the rear is icy conditions.
I have not towed at all with the hitches you are asking about. I have towed many miles in the snow, with a std WD and a Dual cam. I ran with out studs, yes legal here in Wa St. Just a traction tire on the truck, an aggressive hwy tire on the RV trailer. If in the local mtn passes, and I felt I need chains to go forward, stop safely etc, and or it was required per the WSP, I chained up the trailer along with the truck. I never had the trailer wanting to come around. That included going down a really icy 10% grade with mid 50+ MPH winds.
Not saying you need a different hitch setup. But as noted, that trailer does not have any traction compared to the truck, so it sliding sidways and in front of you, does not surprise!
