Follow the good logical advice others have given you.

Skip the sea stories by posters (someone passed me doing 85mph).
Gee Whiz stuff isn't going to solve your problem..:S

Start by dealing with "what you have".

*NOT* with what would/could/should be better.

Save that for "Round Two, Plan B" - or whatever you want to call it.
You may have to do that - but what you have *now* - is what you have.
There's obviously something amiss - or you wouldn't have posted.

For openers, tire pressure at the max pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

(*IGNORE* the Goodyear "plus ten psi" recommendation.)

Determine the pin weight - by methods indicated.

Then determine if the trailer is level, and if not - work on getting it level......then repeat checking the pin weight.

One of the major advantages of a 5th over TTs is the lack of sway.

If you are encountering sway - without heavy crosswinds - there *IS* something wrong.

Almost everyone has gone over the "magic" 65mph - either accidentally or intentionally - without sway.

For those folks - guess your problem would be there at 66mph, and gone at 65mph = double duh..:R
