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.

Being as the OP is in Ca, I believe his chain up requirements are a lot like here in Wa, OR and ID as to three states I have looked up the requirements on. If he or anyone gets caught in a mtn/snow area with out chains, be prepared to lighted your wallet with a ticket.
I like chains on both front wheels of a dual axel trailer personally. That is me.
I also prefer the CHAIN chains vs cables when towing too. UNLESS I need chains on the FA and RA, the cables go on the front tires. Having them along also gives me the extra chain(s) that are required by law too.
I personally did not change setting on brake controller(s) used over 15 yrs towing a trailer in the snow to ski resorts, nor did I change the bar links etc.
