THis video is actually on a boating site. THERE< the axles are granted WAY to the end of the trailer with fishing, water ski boats etc. The point is, once you add a heavy motor or two or three/four as I have seen on some power boats with outboards, even with the axels set back, you can get the trailer to sway. Yes some trailers like tilt bed trailers where the axels are set close to the middle are harder to balance. but they still can be.
Bed mounted hitches or bumper style hitches, ALL can sway if improperly loaded, axels are V'd, too much weight to one side or the other will cause sway. Yes a hensly hitch can stop it, BUT< one still has a trailer with the perpendicy to want to sway. If said Hensley hitch breaks, loses a bar, your screwed! Best to be able to tow your trailer at speeds of 70 with out bars if you have a bumper style hitch setup, THEN ADD the sway/WD bars for a safer towing trip.
