As Barney points out, better hitches make towing nicer....But with this said!
You should be able to drive in windy conditions with out major amounts of uncontrolled fishtail sway! If any at all. If you have this issue, something is wrong with the setup. You need to figure out what is causing the "EFFECT" - fishtail sway, fix the cause.
Yes putting on a Hensley will stop the sway. BUT you trailer still wants to sway! If something breaks, gets loose, you are back to a swaying rig!
I'm going going to resay what I have over the last 20 yrs or so on this forum.
Fix the cause of the sway, then and ONLY then, tow with the "safety bars" attached. Otherwise you have used a band aid to fix what needs a tourniquet!
