Accelerating, to me anyways, would be (and was) counter-intuitive. No matter how much you train your mind to remember to do it, when you are 'in the moment', instinct will likely kick in and for me, instinct is (and was) to let off the accelerator and let natural deceleration help get it back in control.
Now, admittedly, my experience with sway was only once, and it was NOT with a travel trailer, but an open car hauler, with a car loaded. The car was not pulled forward far enough and I didn't have enough tongue weight. Didn't have an issue until getting on the freeway, then, as I got up to 60-65, the dang thing went crazy. I just slowed down and my trucks decel allowed it to get back into control where I could use the brakes to stop.
My only point is acceleration was NOT my first, second or even third thought at the time.
I've played the scenario in my mind with my TT, and believe I have my mind focused on using the trailer brakes gently to bring it in line. Hope I never have to execute.
