Because of the light weight of the TM, the TM axle can be set back a little farther than other trailers without causing the tongue weight to get too heavy. The farther back the axle is the less opportunity for sway.
I agree that the shorter the wheelbase of the TV then sway becomes a possible problem. Imagine what would happen to stability if the distance between the front axle and rear axle of your TV was only a few feet. Clearly not possible. Longer wheelbase is more stable.
My wheelbase is 153 inches. I never think about sway at all. It just never happens. Not even when the TM tire blows out at 55 mph. In fact, when the TM tire blew, we only knew it had failed because we heard the pop. If the radio had been on we would have driven many miles. The TM towed just as stable with one blown tire as it does normally.
