Sway bars advice

Yep.
Barney

Tires are inflated correctly so we are good there. And the sway is not constant. It's just enough to be annoying at times. But I was also driving back through Missouri on a windy day. So some sway on days like that will be normal. And my cargo area up by the tongue was fairly empty. But then again, the TT didn't have a lot of cargo in it at all. But you guys are saying it would be better to shift some of that weight up towards the tongue, right? Without overloading that area of course.

inflate your tires to max cold psi. It should mostly go away..

As long as your WD is set up right.

Sway bars are on a vehicle and used to control roll. On a trailer, you have torsion or spring bars, and friction sway control. Having the Fastway E2, you do have spring bars with some sway control built in (Not as good as the Equal-I-Zer E4).

I would first make sure your setup is correct. Make sure you have the proper sized spring bars for your application. Make sure your hitch head is adusted and you set up the hit per the manufacturers instructions. If you are still having issues, head on to the scares and see if something is out of wack (IE Low tongue weight, or not enough weight distribution.) One thing I did was drill a hole in my shank as close as I could to the tow vehicle. Even a few less inches closer with the ball helps with leverage.

And, I think you will always feel some wind. My DGF father drives coach busses, and he says he can feel wind and tractor trailers.

EDIT: Looking at your floorplan, your fiction dry weights look very light on the nose. And, that floorplan looks like you can easily load too much weight behind the axles.

Also, make sure your tires are aired up properly on both the trailer and TV.

Ask the dealer if you can pay the difference for an E4 hitch, you will be amazed at the difference. I never felt safe with our original E2 setup. For $ 190.00 more We got the Equalizer instead, that took care of the sway completely.

+1 What Barney says

I'm sorry I disagree with some of these answers. My rig is properly set up and you can get some sway with larger vehicles passing you. I have done the scales with just TT connected with and without the WDH and with the truck alone. My hitch weight is correct.

I have two Husky sway bars and have very little but SOME sway when larger vehicles pass. Not all, SOME. You are two units connected at a single point. The sway SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. The second sway bar made a hugh difference with my rig.

But I would do was the other posters tell you to do. Go to scales and get your rig weighed.

The Hellwig will do nothing to control what you are feeling. Those are for controlling the movements of the tow vehicle lean.

You are correct that that wiggle you are feeling is normal. As long as it doesn't develop into a full blown sway even you are ok. If you want to try to get rid of it you might try the following.
Larry is correct that a low tongue weight will contribute to sway conditions but it doesn't sound as if that is your case, in my opinion.

The type of sway bar you need is one or two of these sway bars. One is usually recommended for trailers up to about 24 feet long and two if trailer is longer.
These are the cheapest and simplest of the sway control methods.

Larry, so if I understand you correctly, it could actually be that my TW is too low?

Ok, so our rig is a 2003 Excursion towing a Jayco 287 TT (about 30 feet long and 6200 lbs dry). Took her for her maiden voyage from Kansas City to St. Louis for a few days. The Excursion pulled the TT great! BUT...there is a bit of sway. I've got a Fastway e2 WD hitch with sway bars connecting the TV with our TT. But when semi trucks come up alongside us, or when the wind hits the camper, there is a bit of sway. I understand by physics alone there will always be some sway. I get that. But my question is, if I add a Hellwig sway bar underneath, will that cut down on that sway? Significantly or just a little bit? Or, is there another suggestion you may have about helping with the sway. Mind you, I can live with it if need be. But it does get a bit tiring to constantly readjust that wheel from sway. Thoughts?

I would recommend you get to the scales and make sure you have enough TW and then go thru and make sure your hitch and sway bars are setup and adjusted correctly. Something IMO is not right if you are getting engough sway that you need to adjust your steering. That TT weight is just too light and the X too good of a TV to be experiencing what I think you are describing.
