There was however strong crosswinds. I never had that happen with the Coleman popups of the past. I really don't think I need a WDH with this pick-up and it's heavy duty tow package, but I sure am in the market for an anti-sway device. The Ford pulled like a dream, almost no effort going over 9 mountain passes and got 13mpg while towing, but I won't feel safe until I understand the sway and get it under control. Any suggestions for anti-sway greatly appreciated.

I think I understand your sway problem. From the TM website: "The TrailManor 2922 Series fits an important place in our product line—three new trailers that offer the same highly popular floorplans of our 2720 models—but with a KING sized bed."
TM added two feet to the back of an existing model and did not move the axle back or add two feet to the front to compensate. You can see this in the model specific pictures on the website. The axle can not be relocated to the rear because the driver side wheel would then be under the commode. So now there is 2 additional feet of trailer weight and 38 cu. ft. of additional storage space behind the axle. It would be very easy to load this model in a way that would induce sway.
Bottom line: Use sway control with this model
