Blackjack-
I've unfortunately experienced jacknifing my trailer with my car on it. One thing you didn't say was if your enclosed trailer was intended for an automobile or just a utility trailer.
My first experience was an open utility trailer. I thought I could haul an auto on it. Right away, at around 60mph with nothing on it, it started swaying, but I ignored it. When I had a car on it, it would do the same thing. I would have to slow down and brake. One morning in traffice, on a busy freeway, it started swaying and I skidded across the freeway. Luckily, everyone saw what was happening and backed off. I ended up denting three fenders against the trailer sides. I then found out from a trailer place that these utility trailers are not intended for cars. A car does not balance appropriately and you end up with too much tail weight and not enough tongue weight. As everyone has said, the stabilizer bars should work, but getting a trailer built for a car is the ultimate answer. I did it and have never had a problem.
