Gain setting on Patriot Brake system

If you have a patriot brake system, what GAIN setting do you put your brake system on ?
  • I've towed a 1998 Dodge RAM pickup and a 2014 Nissan Frontier. Normally I tow with a setting of 4, but occasionally I forget and leave it at the default of 5. The knob to set the level of breaking that is on the remote, in the RV cab, does NOT work at all.
  • Gain set on 5 for our 2014 Honda CR-V towed by a 42' tag axle MH
  • 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. Blue Ox recommended 1-3 for a hybrid toad. I drive on 1 or 2. Works great.
  • I have a 2014 Honda CR-V EXL and I put mine on 6 I have a 2003 Georgetown 35 with a 8.1 workhorse.
  • I have a small ford fiesta manual behind a 40 foot dp. I set a 2.
