Thank you guys! The guy actually had a camco trekker with 1200 WDH with sway control. Drove half way home staying in hotel now and still feel very slight sway that experienced pullers probably don’t even notice.
Well, you have a wdh, albeit about twice as large as needed for that unit.
Congrats on the new camper.
TO ease your mind, trailers "wiggle" or more concisely, you can feel them track slightly different than the truck sometimes or alot of the time. Wind, wheel pat rutting, trailer reaction to slight driver inputs in the truck, longitudinal pavement joints, etc are all causes.
None of these conditions cause "sway", the dangerous sway that one can get with a severely overloaded tow vehicle, insufficient capacity or air in trailer tires, too light of tongue weight, too much weight too fat aft of trailer axles.
For some reason, RVers, maybe due to those who have not towed other trailers or less overall towing experience, seem to be very sensitive to the "feel" of a trailer compared to all others.
It's OK to feel the trailer back there. It's ok if it wiggles a little sometimes. Something is gonna happen. A F250 isn't going to handle like a Porsche and a long trailer isn't going to handle like an empty F250.
If you are having actual sway issues, you will know it. You won't have to discern whether it's "slight sway" or some other miniscule factor or movement.
Good luck and safe travels!
