Towing without a equalizer hitch

A standard WD hitch does nothing to prevent sway, unless it has a built in sway control such as a Blue OX or Equalizer brand and some others, or has it added on sway control such as a friction sway control bar or adding the dual cam option to a standard Reese round bar WD hitch.

I'd have to disagree in the sense that a properly sized & adjusted WD system will restore weight back to the TV's front steer axle where it belongs, allowing the TV to operate as it normally would when not hitched to a trailer. A TV that has an excessive amount of weight bearing down the hitch ball, with no WD in play to help restore the TV's balance, will be inherently more prone to allowing the trailer to sway. So yes, in that sense the use of WD does help to prevent sway, just as does properly loading the trailer in the first place and loading it so it has a reasonable amount of gross tongue weight to gross trailer weight, IMO 13% to 14% being just about ideal. I'd be one of those who does use WD but does not use any additional friction sway control because I've taken the time to make sure the WD setup is correct for the trailer I'm towing.
