Trailer brake setup

It offers Low, Med or High, but I don't know what the difference is, as it sets the gain to 5 regardless. The only difference I've noticed so far in my testing (empty 3k trailer) is manually setting the gain with the +/- buttons on the dash.

I believe that is for the ramping as you apply brake pressure.

I'm not sure about the 24s, but I think the L,M,H will change when the dynamics change. Coming off the interstate with a decent braking, that setting will help with how much voltage to send to the brakes. With a 3k trailer, my guess low would be fine.
