The systems I mentioned have integrated sway control which do allow backing up. Blue Ox is a newer system that has a growing following.

Don't be afraid to practice with the new trailer in a large parking lot to learn the "quirks" of the new trailer if needed.
Some great suggestions. I'd like to add a recommendation for the Andersen Hitch. We are around 6,000 miles with that hitch and it works very well. We don't have a lot of tongue weight, but it works great for sway and bounce control. Very comfortable tow.
