Camper Swaying Over 50mph

No, that is a standalone friction style sway control device. Most weight distribution hitches have integrated sway control.

So you have to have a Weight Distribution Hitch in order to attach the curt "sway a way too"?
Can it be used as a standalone product. That can hook right up to your trailer's tongue, without a WDH?

I have a WDH but didn't want to open that can of worms here ... but as it says in the image above, you don't need one to use the sway control kit :
"... or a sway tab mount 45820"

Keeping sway in check without a weight distribution hitch.
With a Curt anti-sway kit.
A Weight Distribution Hitch is Not needed.
Buy one of these.

Attach one of these to the tongue of your trailer.

Cue the worry warts about drilling into the trailer tongue.

Most of them have integrated provisions to mount a sway control kit, i.e. the ball mount has a tab for the sway control device

FWIW my camper doesn't sway at highway speeds even with the sway control bar fully open. I have it mainly for better stability against sidewinds or when passing / being passed by semis

The kit I bought come with a weldable plate so I'm just going to add it to my existing mount.

Single axle trailers don't benefit from the mechanical advantage that tandem/tridem/quad trailers do, in keeping themselves in a straight line. They like to walk around, bounce around, get blown around. I dont even mess with anything over 60, and just work within my means.
I have a 2015 KZ Spree Escape E19BH

Edit: I'll add that I do not use a WDH, I have hundred of miles with my camper behind the truck. If loading isn't your issue and youre getting insane sway at 50, have the dealer take a look.
