Default Towing Advice

So I haven't ever had a trailer stability issue (knock wood) I pay attention to getting the load balanced properly. In the past when towing with electric brakes my plan in the event of fish tailing was to ease up on the gas and manually activate the trailer brakes.

I'm going to be towing my GTO with my 1/2 ton GMC (tow package, 5.3 etc) using a U-Haul car hauler which I'm guessing has Surge brakes ( I think that's what they are called) that activate hydraulically when forward pressure is felt at the hitch.

I've got a towable man-lift with the same setup, don't have any difficulties with that ... except backing up a hill.

Just wondering if anyone has advice for emergency situations when towing a trailer with that type of braking system?
Thanks
