I’m about to go check and reset my brake controller to see if it corrects the situation. It worked fine for 2-3,000 miles (first year of owning Tab400 Boondock. 
Any thoughts/experience with this problem with P3?

    No firsthand experience, but if it is only locking on one side I'd check the trailer brakes first to make sure they operating properly and adjusted to the same drag.

    This started happening to me this summer and I readjusted the brake shoes and everything at a campground.

    Come to find out: I had accidently turned on the Boost feature on my P3! So check that ...
