2 sway bars on a pull behind trailer
I've got a 32 foot trailer and I get real tired every time a bigger vehicle passes me my trailer sways back and forth. Just wondering, other than price to buy it, is there anything negative about...

Any slight movement from straight immediatley creates more tension in the oposite cam which resist the sideways movement.
It appears that you haven't thought your theory thru.
Movement from straight moves the bars of BOTH cams. One CANNOT move without the other moving.
And then you gotta understand the concept of leverage as to what happens next. The bar on the outside of the turn(in a matter of speaking) gets longer,and the one on the inside gets shorter. The one on the outside will be able to exert more force, while the one on the inside will exert less.
You can experience this yourself with a wrench. Shorten up your grasp on it and see how it gets harder to tighten a bolt.... Then grab the wrench by the end and see how much easier it gets.
IMO, the net effect is a wash.
This also doesn't really jibe with your thoughts as to having one bar looser than the other

The cam will not move, only the bar slides.
And that is why it is a FRICTION sway control.
