Use of Trailer Brakes (tekonsha voyager)

Just towed for the first time this year (had to move the trailer so I could have 13 trees taken out from around my house).

I have a question regarding the tweaking of the trailer brake controller. I've noticed that when I'm traveling the highway I feel safer to have my controller tight, so it reacts quick in case of an emergency. I back it off as I leave the highway and travel regular roads, and a bit more when I enter campgrounds, ie. going extra slow. Does this sound about right? Or is it best to adjust it one way and not touch it?

Yes it does. The Voyager is not time based it is proportional just like the Prodigy. Difference is. The Prodigy has an accelerometer to "feel" the TV decelerate. The Voyager has a mechanical pendulum. The farther it swings, the more power is sent to the brakes. That is why you have to level it.

As the Voyager is really grabby in stop, and go traffic. You will want to back it off in town, and in the CG.
The Voyager does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is just much less smooth than the Prodigy. But does a good job stopping the trailer
