NOT so! Been there and done that.
Had sway control and load leveling but the load was too much for the TV. Tail starts wagging the dog and it's all over!
Soft tires, soft suspension are the major culprit.
Coming NB into Portland many years ago rounding a little banked curve (almost flat) on a down hill stretch started to swerve hit trailer brakes started crossing all three lanes back and forth trailer passed TV on right and sent TV 180 and completely rolled over pointing South still in gear idling to the cars that were behind us. Trailer broke from truck and laid on it's side. Lots of abrasions but were ok. Truck was a F100, IMHO similar to modern SUV's etc with soft suspensions and tires!.
Towed same trailer later with dually no sway or load leveling with ZERO issues.
You people with small TV's please listen!!!
