Great post! And we're in total agreement.
On another point raised above: In a lengthy downhill stretch, most of the road will be straight. Engine braking and Tow-Vehicle braking have the
same result at the Trailer hitch-- a slightly "risky" push back, into the Trailer. But engine braking via downshift preserves the TV brakes, so I prefer to do that first.
This all leads to a question: There's a new prodigy model, in the last year so. Does it offer better "tuning" of moderate versus extremely firm braking? I've got the "Trailer brakes too strong at light brake pressure" issue too, and I was wondering if anyone has experience with both generations of of Prodigy (V2 versus V3).
