After I replaced the suspect wiring from the refrigerator bay junction to the wheels I got about 10% more current flow to the brakes than by just replacing the obviously corroded sections found earlier.

At this point I am satisfied that I have achieved adequate braking considering the high traction of this single axle system. A setting of 9 with no boost seems to work ok. The trailer seems to be taking care of itself and not pulling the TV back which could lead to fade on long downhills. It is not pushing the TV at all during braking.

Thank you for the feedback,

I agree with your wire upgrade. I am at least going to replace the wire nuts with high quality crimp on connectors with adhesive sleeves. Will do the wiring when I get a chance.

I plan to reduce my controller setting to ~8 from the 10 I am at now. Will probably stay at boost 1 as I am now. I get the same feel as you when towing.

Take care,

Phil
