Dual cam vs friction bar

Hi, I took the trailer out this weekend and had a wonderful drive at 60-65 mph. No sway at all. I have a Reese round bar setup with 1000 bars. I had a Tractor trailer pass me at 80-85, it pushed me and the th about 2 ft off the road. But it did not oscillate. When a long line of cars passed it did the same thing. It only happened twice on a 6 h round trip.

I need to purchase a sway setup. Is there advantages with going with the dual cam over the bar. What would be better for this issue?

Thanks Bill

The friction bar will help, the Dual Cam will make towing fun.

I've had both and the Dual cam is head and shoulders above the friction setup.
