Thanks for all your responses. All these upgrades are pricey. I think I will start with the Stable Loads since it is the simplest to install. If I still have issues then I will pickup a sway bar. I would like to stay away from air bags. I thought getting a smaller 9 ft camper would save me the added expense of suspension upgrades.
IMO you're going about addressing your sway problem in reverse. For sway control, front and rear (first) anti-sway bars are the solution (Hellwig is a fine choice). If the anti-sway bars work, problem resolved.
If you want more more stability, less squat, increased load capacity (actual but not a legal increase) etc, then you move to phase 2 solutions. These include things like Stable Loads, Sumo Springs (I'm a big fan), larger bump/jounce stops, additional overload/supplemental springs, air bags (not a fan) etc.
And yes, all modifications cost money but these are minor compared to the investment you've already made in your set-up and in the end, are worth every penny for the decreased stress/dissatisfaction factors and increased driveability of your set-up.
