Gust if wind or panic lane change = LIGHTS OUT!
I've been hit by side to side wind gust, that moved the whole truck and trailer over a lane.......lights were still on on that dark sunday night crossing the Columbia river in 20-30 mph steady with upwards of 90mph gusts that night! I did not have a sway system per say hooked to my trailer either. Only a WD system.
If a trailer is setup correctly, a gust of wind should NOT cause an out of control fish tail sway issue. You may/should change lanes as a unit per say, especially the pictured setup in the OP's post with a Hensley.....
I've seen more 5w setup trailers on there sides due to strong side gusts that ball mount trailers that are low CG like the on pictured in OP.
