Do Not ever take off Weight bars before you decide if you are going to unhook the tow vehicle. first thing ,you will be holding up someone behind you. and 2nd,you will be putting too much weight on the rear axles of your vehicle...( that is why you use bars). There are times that I never even unhook if i am not going to be staying more than one night.. there is no reason to take bars off and if you have the friction sway , just loosen it when you are going thru the park. Do the unhooking after you are on your site. The friction sway should be able to take tight turns if the small ball on the frame is bolted at the correct spot.

Depends on your setup! I'm towing a 21' 4500lb TT with a F250 super duty - I am well under tow and hitch capacities.
Yes, the friction sway bar can handle "tight" turns, but we are talking about jackknifing - more than just a tight turn.
Whichever, everyone figures out what works best for their setup.
