Recommended Solution for Correcting Trailer Sway on Trailer Not Rated for Weight Distribution
Question:
My trailer is to have NO weight distribution hitch or sway control hitch. Is a sway bar different and would that be ok, then?

Expert Reply:
If the manufacturer has advised against using weight distribution with or without sway control, I have a solution for you but using something like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch # 83660 is not an option.
Since your Rove Lite 14FL has electric brakes, the best solution for sway control is the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000, which mounts on the trailer. The Tuson system senses trailer sway events beginning and activates the brakes sooner than a friction sway bar would react, so it's a much safer and better solution for a trailer that can't use weight distribution but still benefits from sway control systems.
I've linked a review video of this system for you to check out.
