Truth is, we will never know the cause of the OPs sway as he made big changes in several areas.
Glad his sway is gone, just wish we really knew why.

I agree Scott and it will be interesting to see what the OP's tire wear is now. Remember, they indicated they wore out a set of tires on their initial 10 day pull.
I also know you and many others (including my sister and brother in law) are using the Sidewinder/Revolution successfully. The Andersen seems to get a bad rap too. Folks just have a hard time getting past traditional pin boxes and hitches.
I've posted this before...
My 8529IKBS has the Revolution and I figured since I have it, why not try it when we first got the 5th wheel. I have a slider hitch that has been in 4 trucks and have never had to slide it but I thought I'd try the Revolution.
I never noticed a difference in towing (or trailing) but I did have a few issues hitching with both the universal wedge and the custom wedge for my hitch. They weren't HUGE hassles but hassles I don't have by bolting it back solid and using it that way.
I hope this solves the OP's issue and I hope after several pulls they report back with the findings.
