using trailer brake controller
Rick and Carol, I just purchased a new 23' TT and will pull it with a Yukon than has an integrated trailer brake controller already installed. I would be interested in any tips on how to use it the...

A) I have heard from folks who like to dial their controller up while on the freeway so it reacts more strongly to sudden requests for braking.
B) I always give mine a little pinch to test it right as we're leaving home or a CG.
C) As others have suggested, a little manual braking from the TT alone can help straighten out and stabilize your whole rig. I'm having a hard time convincing my DW that if things get really hairy our Ford's automatic stability program will kick in and she doesn't have to have 2 hands on the steering wheel in that situation (and by reaching down with one hand to tweak the trailer is more likely to keep it from escalating to that point).
