I really think we did.  The procedure that I have
always seen documented is to apply the trailer brakes
manually while accelerating the tow vehicle at the
same time.  This process is suposed to pull the
trailer out of the sway.

Problem is, I have never heard from anyone who
actually had to do this and could tell me it works,
and it one of those things that you can't and wouldn't
want to create to practice this theory.

As I noted in an earlier post, while many have heard
of this procedure most folks don't instantly react.
