Gust if wind or panic lane change = LIGHTS OUT!
I've been hit by side to side wind gust, that moved the whole truck and trailer over a lane.......lights were still on on that dark sunday night crossing the Columbia river in 20-30 mph steady with upwards of 90mph gusts that night! I did not have a sway system per say hooked to my trailer either. Only a WD system.
If a trailer is setup correctly, a gust of wind should NOT cause an out of control fish tail sway issue. You may/should change lanes as a unit per say, especially the pictured setup in the OP's post with a Hensley.....
I've seen more 5w setup trailers on there sides due to strong side gusts that ball mount trailers that are low CG like the on pictured in OP.

When the RV is too large for the TV it's not a good combo. Get that sway going and it can be all over. I know from personal experience.
