We are all different as is our setups...
My rituals when towing...
Manually check and adjust the trailer brakes (no longer own, but borrow from buddies and church members) and my TV’s. Check and readjust the trailer brakes along the trip. Even rebuild their trailer brakes if it is worn to much. They like it when their trailer is returned in better shape, brake wise. If I cannot skid the brakes, pass on that trailer
Always check the trailer brakes before leaving by manually skidding and by using only the TV’s brake pedal (won’t skid, but know that works)
All along the trip, touch the TV brake pedal and feel the trailer brakes engage, which keeps them in their temp range.
Yes, I’m anal when it comes to braking...more important to me than go power. #1 is braking; #2 is handling (that includes staying within specifications); #3 go power, performance; everything else on my have to have
If your trailer is sliding and braking will send it over...then you are lost regardless what you do...
