Need some advice... trailer brake adjustment...

Two adjustments on an old inertia system trim and gain. Once the trim is set, all you have to do is decide how much brake you need with the gain. As mentioned earlier, just download a manual and set it up per the instructions.

Yes, the new controllers are better, but the older ones are no big deal to get working properly.

Nike Holley,

I'm sending you a pm.

I've been using the same non-Prodigy for 20 years and it has 2 user adjustments. I'd suggest you download the manual for the one you have (if you don't already have it)and set it up according to the manual and then fine tune it for your personal preferences. I'm thinking that if it already feels jerky your trailer brakes are probably working fine and simple adjustments will get the job done. Personally, I like to feel when the trailer brakes apply; just don't want to lock 'em up on a normal stop.

Don't know if you have a good brake controller or not. If you do need to change to a new controller, I would go with the Prodigy controller. I used a Prodigy controller in two TT and both worked great.

Then, be sure your trailers brakes are adjusted correctly. With the wheel off the ground, adjust until you get wheel lock, and back off three to five clicks. Go for a test drive.

Hmmm... didn't 'waste my money'...

It was in the Burb When we bought it a few years ago...

I'll look at a prodigy controller...
