Travel trailer in snow- Break controler setting
If you don't have chains, and you get caught in the snow, is it better to lower your brake control setting? I would think you would want less breaking in the rear if there is snow on the road.

I would rather have all the wheels attempting to brake rather than just the tow vehicle, so the controller should be set the same or slightly higher in slick conditions to allow the rear to drag more and straighten things out. If you're locking up the trailer, you are driving too fast or braking too hard. This contradicts the previous post but you need to find what works for your driving style and terrain.
I would disconnect sway control on your hitch in slick weather so the trailer tracks the vehicle movement better instead of fighting it. Since you will not be going fast, there is no worry about sway until the conditions are better and your speed increases.
