Sway & Wind
Hi all, I have a 30' Coleman trailer pulled by F150 Crew Cab 5.5' bed w/ Curt 600 WD & Sway Control System. If not pulling in wind, my rig pulls like a dream, and I have no problem what so ever....

All I'll say is, yes there are conditions that will cause less than optimal towing experience.
But, it's pretty easy to separate the opinions of those with a lot of experience towing/driving heavy vehicles or combinations and the weekend warriors who sit at a desk 300 days a year and tow a camper once in a while.
It's all about comfort level and setup. Comfort level being key.
One persons description of sway is different than another's.
For example, I consider "sway" to be the uncontrollable swaying that happens sometimes form a bad setup that gets worse and worse until you put tension between the truck and trailer and stretch it back straight.
Others may consider the minor back n forth of a trailer that has a tail that like to wag the dog a little bit, to be unacceptable. I consider this normal as long as it corrects itself.
