Electric or Electric Hydraulic and Gain setting

need information - I have 2018 Bambi Sport and TV is Ford Transit Van. The Van has a Trailer setting on Brakes when connected to my Airstream.

Choices are Electric or Electric Hydraulic - Which one ? and what to set for the Gain (0 -10)?

Thank you all.

I doubt that any sport model trailers had the option for hydraulic/electric brakes, so the setting would be electric.

The gain adjustment is based on the weight and brakes on the trailer. Your trucks owners manual might have more information, but the basic adjustment is to set the gain as high as you can with out locking the brakes.

This might help:

best to take your AS and TV to a reputable tallier dealer and have them set it up.
the better ones will explain the process so that you can do any future changes.
