Here is a good link/source, which breaks down laws by states. https://drivinglaws.aaa.com/
IMHO - YES, you need a brake controller. |

You can minimize sway by front-loading the R-Pod, keeping extra weight behind the axle to a minimum. Sway bars do have drawbacks: they limit the jackknife angle when backing up, so they should be removed in that case. My wife managed to rip the bracket off the A-frame because she forgot to remove the sway bar we had before backing up.
We really like the Fastway E2 WDH we use now because the sway bars are built into the weight distribution system and do not have the angle limitations that a regular sway bar does. |

We had a lot of plain open land driving home with lots of wind and being my first time towing anything. We had a little sway but nothing crazy, what simple easy anti sway bar does anyone have or recommend one specifically if I want one?

If you just want anti-sway, the general solution is an anti-sway bars like this. OTOH, there are a few Weight distribution hitches like the Fastway E2 that incorporate anti-sway along with the WDH function.
