Suddenly Swaying
First time this year taking the TT out on the road, and suddenly I am experiencing (minor) swaying where I’ve never experienced it before. I literally had to remember that the TT was back there when...

Most likely it's been a problem for a while, which was masked by the sway control device. It's now gotten to the point where it is overcoming the sway control device, which is not good.
Take an inventory of what's in the trailer, especially what's behind the axles. You may think nothing has changed, but over time you slowly add-add-add, not really thinking about where you put things, and over time, it adds up. You may find several hundred pounds of unnecessary "stuff" in the rear storage compartments causing your sway problem.
That's the thing - we last took the trailer out in September, and drove several hundred miles from Tampa to Mobile, AL and back - and everything was rock solid. When we got home, we parked the trailer - at most removing perishable food and clothes.
We took the trailer from Tampa to Sarasota recently after changing the tires and the issue was immediately apparent. I had never had anything more than barely perceptible push-pull before, and now it's VERY noticable. I'd never felt the trailer swaying before, and now I do. We didn't add or remove anything in terms of gear from the trailer - so I just don't get it. The only thing that has changed is the tires.
