The best first step for solving wind effects while towing is a weight distribution hitch. For a great hitch that gives you the sweet spot of weight distribution tension with your 2021 Keystone Springdale 282bh tongue weight, we need to know what the loaded tongue weight of your trailer. Given that it has a dry weight of 690 pounds, your tongue weight is most likely around 900-1000 pounds loaded.
With that factor, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-00-1200. The Strait-Line reduces body roll and provides you with overall increased control. It also helps level out your setup. The hitch brackets attach at 27" - 30" back from the center of coupler and fits frames up to 6" wide.
