My 2 cents...can't speak for the others, I've only used one for 10 years, the P3. It seems to work very well and I've heard their customer service is very good. My only complaint is it has generated full power for no apparent reason 3 times since I've owned it. It goes back to normal after a short fit. I should contact the factory but haven't. As far as operation characteristics, I love it.
Did you see a full power reading on the P3 display?
I have seen trailer brakes malfunction and lock up with a light brake application. Had a boat trailer do this and found the return spring had broken on one of the shoes. It did not lock up all of the time.
You know, that's a good question. I don't recall if it said full power or not. All I know is the micro second you touch the brakes, the tires lock. Come to think of it, it's more than one, so I'm guessing it wasn't a return spring. Would be unlikely more than one spring would go bad intermittently at the same time. I'll have to remember to take note if it happens again.
