Need to adjust trailer brakes on 2016 Dodge 2500

Hi All: New Dodge 2500 diesel which has a factory installed trailer brake controller. I tow a 5th wheel ultra light 26 feet which probably is about 10,000 lbs. ready to camp. What setting do i use on...

Assuming that's a new 2016 Ram, the manual (p705-706) has pretty complete directions as how to set the trailer brake gain. In short: get up to 20-25mph on level dry surface and manually activate the brakes. If they lock up, reduce the gain; if not, increase gain until they do, then back off until the don't.

Use Light Trailer setting for anything under 10,000#.
