Our first camper was a 1987 single axle 15' Layton. It came with electric brakes and the hitch had both weight distribution (wd) and sway control.

The tow vehicle had a fairly short wheel base which probably approximated the distance of the drive axle to the trailer axle.

Merely having a slight amount of tension on the arms would have prevented the oscillations and improved the travel.
Determining if yours has electric brakes is simple enough,the wheels attach to a plate or a drum, nothing behind the mount,no brake, drum is the mount there are brakes.
Good luck
