I finally did it. I got me an enclosed trailer for the toy. It's a 24' Halumark Thrifty with some upgrades.

I do have 1 question. When I went to setup the Prodigy controller, it said to drive up to 25mph and apply the brakes manually. If the brakes didn't lock gradually increase the power. I increased to 9.5 and still couldn't lock the brakes. The trailer stops very well as far as I can tell. You can definately feel them apply on moderate to hard stops. What did I do wrong in the setup?

I don't think you did anything wrong. Some trailer brakes won't lock up. You need to pull the loaded for a while to get the brakes set just right, getting a good balance of braking between the trailer and the truck.

Ditto. When I installed the Prodigy and set it up for my 24 ft. equipment trailer, I could not get the trailer brakes to lock up even with the manual control all the way to the right. But the braking was and is solid and well-balanced.

Not to worry if they don't lock during setup as long as they pull down evenly with your truck, when you brake.

Nice trailer. If you don't mind me asking...what "toy" are going to have in your trailer?
