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.

If you have a real brake controller, like the factory controllers, your foot determines braking power. You determine how much braking is needed.
An aftermarket controller will not be controlled by the driver. Brakes lights turn on a bit of braking. Whatever else happens as you attempt to stop is anyone's guess.
I have disagree with the aftermarket description. You can have time or inertia based controllers on modern vehicles. Older vehicles could actually tie into the hydraulic lines.
Given a choice, I prefer the OEM controllers that modify output based on ABS and stability input from the tow vehicle (my last two were OEM), but there are some good inertia controllers for those that did not buy a tow vehicle with the OEM option.
