Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional part # BLU37TR does have braking force and sensitivity adjustments in the setup screen for the brake patriot. The large number on the display represents the force setting. If you want to adjust how aggressive the Patriot will brake you can raise or lower that number from the factory setting. There is not really a set number for each vehicle, it just takes trial and error. If you hook the Jeep up to the motor home and test braking with it in a open area away from other vehicles. If you feel the towed vehicle pressing against the motor home when you press the brakes suddenly you may need to adjust the force. If you have a smooth braking experience then the sensitivity is set correctly.
You can also set the max force which can be used to set the maximum amount of force the brake will ever apply. For smaller vehicles or vehicles with more sensitive brakes this number can be lowered. For larger vehicles or vehicle's with unresponsive brakes then it needs to be higher.
