When I manually engage my Honda Civic brake with my Blue Ox controller, I am unable to stop my motorhome while it is on idle. My MH just creeps along.
This motivated me to set my Blue Ox braking to 5, but I recently wore out my front brake pads on the Toad. So, I think I'll set the braking effort to 1.
Really, the only reason I have the Blue Ox is to stop the car if it breaks away, and to comply with various laws. It doesn't help reduce my MH braking at all. Nor does it stabilize the Toad, since the car doesn't wag around anyway. The engine brake is far more useful at saving my MH brakes.
