TeryT, it's a matter of preference on the adjustment. I like my trailer brakes turned up so you can feel them grab, especially with how heavy the traffic is around here.
The downside is at slow speeds, like 20 mph. The boost level will grab the trailer brakes early and if you only going 20 mph, they will really slow the trailer down, which in turn is sensed by the accelerometer in the controller, which in turn applies more brakes....the fix is to get your foot off the brake pedal briefly to release the controller, but the result is a jerky stop. If I get stuck in traffic, I'll usually leave the boost at 2 and dial back the gain to smooth out the ride.
I've had my P2 in the truck and connected to the factory harness for 10 years now and never had any battery drain issues.
