Anti sway

I am looking for any suggestions on a Anti sway hitch. I have a weight distribution already but on our most recent outing, it was pretty windy. I had a lot of sway and it made me very nervous. Thanks in advance for any inputs, and suggestions. I.e brands, ease of install/set up etc.

No need to buy a whole new hitch if you're satisfied with the weight distributing function of the one you have. Why throw the baby out with the bath water? Many such systems don't come with/provide sway control, but fortunately it can easily be added. Friction-type bars are the most common; I think that one is recommended for trailers up to twenty feet long, and two for those over that size.

Here's a link to E-trailer's page for friction bars. That site has a very good question-and-answer feature, and if you write in and give them your hitch make/model they can readily advise you as to compatibility with any of their products. Doesn't mean you have to buy from them, of course- the information is free!

That said, and as already mentioned:
Do make sure to address any loading problems that might be causing sway- you might be running too light ahead of the trailer axles, a primary cause of trailer sway. I'd suspect this as a cause in your situation, especially since you mention that it seems to have appeared on your most recent trip. Such things as full tanks, for example, can drastically affect the balance.
