We just got a new TT and looked at a WDH with anti sway control but it was not fit for backing. You had to unhook something or disconnect something in order to back up. What a pain. We ended up with a different on that works well. Just be careful which one you get. That's all I'm saying.
The truth is that the sway control reacts the same whether going forwards, or backwards.
It is possible on some TV/TT lash ups to turn sharp enough to damage a friction control when going forward. It is more likely to happen when backing though. If one is careful not to cut it too sharp (an assistant can help) then backing will not cause any harm on any setup. Also some tests when it is first installed can determine just how sharp of an angle you can do safely. On some TT/TV setups, other damage will occur before the friction control is hurt.
