In my case, speed wasn't an issue as I had driven up to 75 mph with the trailer and no WDH before, just on better roads. I had just hit a pot hole which caused the tow vehicle to shimmy a little, then a tractor trailer passed me seconds later and the camper started to sway.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, speeding up worked for me. It may not work in all instances. While I was speeding up, one of my biggest fears was that there was going to be a down hill stretch of road, which would have most likely made things a lot worse. I was really hoping for a hill to climb up. This incident was the only experience I had with sway, so I posted my experience. We bought an Equal-i-zer hitch system right after we got home. I drove the rest of the trip there and back at 50 mph :)
