Why it was 'white knuckled' when uneventful & no sway?
Trip HOME was very windy...the trailer did not sway at all, but the entire rig was noticeably moved by the winds...not whole lot, I stayed in my lane LOL but I definitely felt the "tug and pull"...white knuckled for sure...
Was wondering if maybe I had my friction control sway bar adjusted a tad too tight??
Having the whole rig move as a unit should be expected; especially when it is windy. You will notice, too, that the direction the wind is blowing will make a difference (if you are passed on the left and the wind is from the left, the passing vehicle will block the wind.. that will feel to you like a pull to the left).
You could try reducing the sway control friction a bit, but you might just then encounter sway PLUS the "tug and pull" - not good!
...snip...
all in all a very good trip...a little concerned with having to tow this again on a windy day...

If you can, please let us know why the 'white knuckles'. To me that means you felt you were not in control
