I would make sure your current setup the trailer is level to slightly nose down.
Do you have enough hitch wt, ie >10%, closer to 13-15% is better.
Also, if you can verify the side to side wt on the tires, that can also make sway an issue too, if one side is heavier than the other. Local state law is no more than 500 lbs difference side to side.
Also verify that the axels are not "V"d any any way.
If all the above are good, then a sway control is needed. Reality, one of these items is probably out of whack, hence the swaying in side winds. IMHO, If you need sway control, then you have a bad designed trailer.
