Gain setting

Recently bought a Chevy truck with the built in brake control. My question is what is the best setting for the gain? I'm towing a 27ft TT.

    Jam on the brakes if they lockup nock it down a number amd try it again. If they didn't lockup take it up a number.
    Whay you want is maximun braking without lockup


    This is correct.

    Set it to a high setting. If it's from 1 to 10, try 8. While driving 55+ mph downhill, get on the brakes hard.
    If you can clearly see the side of the trailer in one of your rear view mirrors, turn the gain down.
