    • @RVUntethered

      I was surprised that they didn't have a manual option to adjust them, because that was what I was looking for originally.
      It IS odd, but it worked! You back up and sort of cram on the trailer brakes. That's the difference, I suppose. It was spongy, but each time it tightened. We probably ended up doing 5 or 6 times, over the course of that day and during travel day. By the last time, it would jerk the truck, so it made me feel a LOT better!
