It's not a good feeling to be set on 1 when out on the highway and you hit the brakes then try to bump up to 3. That is the reason I would never tow with a P2 again.

A guy would have to be stupid or very uninformed to do as you think.

Not how it is done I would hope.

Are you saying you leave yours set on one setting ALL the time?

Yes but if I pull into a gravel rv park I might hit the boost to the #1 setting and back to the 2nd boost when leaving. One finger job and that it's.

We run a P3 with Dexter Disks and wouldn't have anything else.

Go to the manufacturer's web site and download a user's manual. Then adjust away.

Forum police are pretty tough today.

X2 on the Max brake. I just put in my Max brake last year and I must say it was the best 350.00 up grade for my braking. It works like it was a built in system. I don't sweat the stopping anymore. I can't believe the difference. I bet if everyone knew the difference it made they would not be out of buisness. I was going to buy one for my brother for a Christmas present when I found out they were gone. :(

IMHO P2=POS

Sucks having to constantly change from light to heavy setting.

A shame MaxBrake is no longer being made.
