Dgantz,
I think you've gotten a lot of good suggestions regarding alignment of both vehicles, weight distribution due to filled water and gas tanks, size (length and height and weight of towed), level of tow bar, speed, cross winds, etc. But how about tires? I'm not sure what you are running but I know they can make a difference. I don't know if you want to go with stiffer or softer sidewalls, but that is one factor along with profile and tread pattern. It is an expensive proposition, but I'll be that there are people on this forum who have experiences to share. Of course you may also need to reduce the size of your towed vehicle, if it exceeds the recommended weight.
Finally, I think the "big boat vs. small boat" (long length versus short length) theory is interesting and may be true. However something with a big surface area and relatively light weight will blow around more than something with a small surface area and high weight. Wind profile is important. My apologies to any boaters if the laws of the seas say this ain't so!
