Absolutely you should get sway control. ESPECIALLY on a trailer as small as that, because IMHO the smaller trailers are MORE prone to sway due to only having a single axle and two tires for lateral stability.
Here's what I mean:
This single axle trailer has a single 3500lb rated axle and will likely be pushing that 3500lb weight once loaded and ready to camp.
The next size up trailer will have TWO 3500lb rated axles and weigh 5000lbs loaded and ready to camp.
Taking tongue weight into consideration:
3000lbs per axle vs. 2100lbs per axle. Which do you think will be more stable?
