Steve, I am running with a trailer weight considerably less than 14,360 lbs. At this point, we are doing exclusively weekend and short vacations. Inside, the Monty is essentially empty ... perhaps 200 lbs of systems information, bathroom supplies, our plastic dishes, etc ... when we tow. The basement is also mostly empty with the exception of basic supplies, chocks, light-weight chairs, etc. Probably 300 - 400 lbs at the most. If we get to a point where we are running heavier, I will likely kick up the BOOST ... but for the moment, things seems to work fine.

Mike, B3/7.3 seems totally reasonable to me. I am a long way from an expert on such matters but I would be surprised to learn that the braking issues you describe above are due to the Prodigy. Will be interested to see how the brakes perform after dealer servicing.
