Re swaying trailers - the trailer I'm currently using (belongs to a friend
who conveniently doesn't have room to store it at his house) has an
equalizing hitch, which includes anti-sway bars. I'd not used on of these
before but it is great - it allows you to essentially move some of the
tongue weight to the front axle, so if you happen to load heavy on the
tongue, you can just jack up the equalizing bars a notch to compensate. Have
towed with heavy loads in all kinds of conditions and have never had a sway
problem.

I also have one of those draw-tite electronic brake controllers that just
connects to the brake light switch. With a little attention to adjustment
(you can adjust both the agressiveness and the firmness with which it
applies the brakes) it works great.
