Mostly agree on all items. Though the wife is the one that determines the pink flamingo thing...
That said I disagree with not needing sway control. Yes, it should not sway properly set up. And you can drive thousands of mile and never experience have sway. But... The second something happens that's out of your control, oil on the road or other cause for slick surface, having to make an evasive move for any reason, hitting a pothole, and a whole list of other things that could happen, sway control is cheap insurance.
My experience is towing home one time about 10 years ago and hit a slick spot in the road. Rear axle slide sideways, trailer started swaying violently. Got it under control quickly. 10 seconds seemed like 10 minutes. I wonder what would have happened without the sway control?
