Glad you're okay.

the heavy side needs to be on the dolly, otherwise it wants to strear the tow vehicle instead of the other way around and this makes it unstable at speed. it will sway side to side until it finds a harmonic then it will throw you off the road. same issue with improper loading of a car trailer, the engine should always be in the front, too light tongue weight will do the same thing.
to the OP, wow, glad you are OK....
