OP, your explanation of the sway points to too little tongue weight.

One word, HENSLEY!

I agree with you. A Hensley is not considered a band aid but a solution.

It's a band-aid. If it stops a trailer that sways constantly without a Hensley then something is wrong, generally the trailer is improperly loaded.

A band-aid is something that masks the issue, but never corrects the problem. If the loading isn't fixed then it's a band-aid fix.

I don't disagree that having to carefully load the trailer each trip is ideal, but ending up with the proper setup takes care.

Properly loaded TT's, without suspension/axle issues, will not sway. Sway control should be there for irregular adverse conditions, not needed every inch of every mile.

I disagree - our TV was not overloaded, the TT was not incorrectly loaded, and don't say that a rear kitchen overly loaded is the issue, had rear kitchens on all previous rigs. As for the TT possibly having suspension axle issue, no. This was a top end, full timing quality TT. The Hensley and now the Pro Pride is designed to address these issues that create safety. Better to be safe than guess on what the issue is. It worked for us as it works for thousands. There's a science behind it and it works. Now, if you can't or don't want to spend the money, that's your decision and probably is a factor on figuring it out manually. I'm not pushing my solution on the issue, just stating the facts. It works. To say this is a band-aid is like saying air bags are band aids for a heavy pin box or a heavy truck camper. It's sometimes required for the equipment.
