We too had exactly the same problem with our crusader we bought the Alko 2004 stabiliser pack and it has never swayed let alone snaked again.

In the begining we  tried: loading it differently, tyre pressure keeping our speed down but as soon as a lorry or caravan passed us it would make it sway and if we were going down a hill it would be worse. We have had trailer tents and a caravan for the last 14years and never had this problem. If we dared put the bike rack on then it would snake even at 40 mph (and we had checked the nose weight). It came with an Alko 1300 fitted but that only reduces movements by 30% and up to a  weight of 1360kg, the unit is 1000kg unloaded so maybe it was not big enough to cope (Don't quote me but i think the Alko 2004 goes upto 2000kg )

Anyway i have spoken to my husband before posting this and he said it does  prevents snaking from starting like JohnG has said previously. If you are going to pay out you may as well get one that you know will definitely do the job (Look on the Alko web http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/directory2/details.asp?revid=784&typeid=  site that is what we done and it tells you what each ones does and the min weight/ max) .

At the end of the day you want to hitch up and go without the worry of having an accident, we think thay are well worth every penny prevention is better than cure LOL !!

Good luck,

Theresa.

Sorry my mistake, glanced at the Cruiser column instead of the crusader. As Jan has pointed out 1000kg is the max loaded weight. (You can only load 180kg into the unit but to put that into perspective that's about 10 to 12 adult bikes!)
