IMHO, I think you might just be overreacting a bit. When I first got my travel trailer I was always worrying about sway. I would feel every gust, correct, etc. Over time, I learned to trust the feel of a trailer and low and behold, my "sway" concerned disappeared.
Travel trailers do NOT tow as good as 5vrs. If you have a crosswind and a semi passes you WILL feel it. There is no such thing as someone towing a TT and "forgetting it is back there", no matter what you might read on these forums.
So far, all you have described is a bit of wiggle, never an actual "sway" event.
I am not saying you should not check everything, but in the end, if you cannot find anything wrong, then just maybe you rig is normal.
