B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Underslung - 16K GTW, 1.6K TW

Installation went well but with mine being an underslung trailer there were some challenges getting it set up. B&W had me text them photos and got an engineer on the phone with me. I can't say enough about their service, they are awesome. He looked at my picture and made some other suggestions to make the hitch work better with my trailer.

I took the trailer out for a test run for about 20 miles. We had very little wind, but the hitch overall performed really well. It was one hand on the steering wheel for me; a very enjoyable ride. I was able to pull into a gas station and make a few fine adjustments in the span of 5 minutes which is what I really love. With my other old-style hitch when I stopped to make adjustments, it took 30 minutes. This is a very well-made product, and I'm looking forward to camping with it soon! I'm running an F150 with a 2015 Jayco 29QBS.1577333

Since purchasing this hitch I have spent 10 months using it continuously. It has approximately 10,000 miles on it as of now. I can safely say that I have had no problems using this hitch. The only problem was caused when my tongue jack plate scraped the side of one of the composite bars and caused the material to splinter. See photo for detail. I love the ability to add pressure as needed to move weight forward on the vehicle. If my load is heavier I can use the pump handle to add more pressure. The installation was a little bit tricky and took me half a day. This included having to pull the trailer to a flat location to ensure appropriate install. I can back up with full range of motion without needing to unhook anything. It only makes noise if it gets dey. No more being that guy clanking his way into the campground late at night with traditional sway bars. I have never regretted my choice to buy this cutting edge hitch. A final note, I have maintained my Continuum by cleaning it, lubing it with white lithium grease, and using a grease gun on the pin block.1768059

All around great hitch. Pulls well no sway even with semis going by. Had 1 problem one of the spring clips came or was taken off. The hitch load bar came loose while under 1000 lbs pressure made a hell of a noise I was lucky I was only going 25 mph when it let go. I got it fixed well enough to get me home called b&m no problem they said new parts on the way. Very happy with hitch pricey but worth it. 2017 1/2 ton Chevrolet Silverado Firestone bags on the rear 5.3 chip tuned motor 2019 Keystone passport 2512 travel trailer 6000 lbs dry6500 wet and loaded was looking at Hensley. And saw this when it first came out at the rv shoe. Very tuneable esp with airbags.1768467

I am very happy I chose the B&W continuum. I had reservations and educated myself with all of the options out there before choosing. Let me start with the rig. Trailer is a 37 foot Flaggstaff with a 1,100lbs tounge weight, 11,260 GVW and we tow with a 2015 F350 diesel.
Installation took about four hours and the instructions were very detailed. I did have to make a few modifications to the LP tank brackets along with moving some of the wiring. In my case the truck and trailer leveled out perfectly at 1500lbs on the guage.( more on fine tuning later)
Our first trip was a 600 mile round that included both main freeways,two lane back roads and city streets.
The first thing I noticed was how fast the truck and trailer recovered from big bumps in the road. In the past i was used to the porposing effect that sometimes seemed to go on for ever. The continuum settled it out in seconds. the ride was so effortless I found myself very relaxed and drove with one hand most of the time.
I drive right about the speed limit so at 70mph on the freeways i did experience being passed by trucks. When they passed by a couple MPH i only noticed a minor suck in a push out on the trailer. when they flew by to my amazement it was almost unnoticable. The trailer was very stable at all times and tracked straight with almost no sway at all.
I am glad we had the windy conditions since that was one of my biggest concerns with not having the typical bar design. I would say that the worst of the wind was around 20 mph with gusts up to 30. Again i was happy how it performed. there was movement of the trailer but nothing that was white knuckling at all.
We made stops along the way and each time i checked the pressure guage and it was always right were I set it except once. I noticed that the ride seemed to be a bit stiffer and when I checked the guage had climbed to 1750lbs. Now to be fair I did not set it on level ground when I hooked up and set it to 1500lbs so that may have caused it. in addition to the stiff ride i also noticed on the TPM that the rear trailer tires had heated up 4 degrees more than the front axle. So i decided to lower the pressure to 1350 and see what happened. To my surprise the pressures evened back out and the ride was even better at that setting.
I plan to use 1350 from now on.
They are right that fine tuning makes a difference in ride quality but for me it was the tire pressure control was a bonus.
I hope this helps you with your decision on what to by for your towing.
I am happy with mine1751217

Thanks to Tammie B for taking my original order. After my order arrived with missing parts and broken hydraulic unit due to rough handling by UPS, Daniel P, after receiving photos from me, got a replacement hitch authorized, return labels sent, product pulled, labeled, & picked up by UPS all before closing time on a Friday. He was amazing to jump thru all of those hoops to make it right and quick. Received the packages the following Tuesday in pristine condition from UPS. Installed on a 2023 Flagstaff Classic 826mbr with 6" frame and large propane tanks which were a problem. The large tanks have a tray welded to the frame that includes a 5" vertical support frame also welded to the frame. I had to cut vertical slots in the support 3 1/2" front & 3" rear both 3" wide for the hydraulic cylinder and hoses to move. Other than that the installation was bolt on. Nothing to move or relocate. Pressure used was 1700 pounds. Works great and keeps this 72 year old man from having to strain to lift spring bars on the usual hitches. Other benefits are sway control improvement, connect everything from one side, quiet when making corners & controls porpoising when driving thru dips. It is worth the money spent1707355

Love the WD function and the ease of install and adjustment. The anti sway does not seem to be as aggressive as the Anderson I ran on a smaller trailer/vehicle combination. Anderson's tapered friction shank really stops sway nicely, but their system is a bit more finicky to set up than the Continuum. Overall, very impressed with the build quality, innovative design, ease of installation and WD function. I would reccommend this to any friends towing a larger trailer.

Thanks for the Follow-up.1777708

I was really debating this purchase but I am so glad I did! Went on with little effort and compared to the old system I had - and I mean OLD! - the B&W Continum is light years ahead. Took it out today for a test run and it preformed fantastic. No more sway when getting passed, no more having to stop and take sway control bars off before backing up! I pull a KZ Sportsmen 34 ft with a RAM 1500 and it was one hand on the wheel most of the time. Great product from Made in the USA! Also great service from etrailer - ordered on a Sunday had it Tuesday the same week!1694119

Best set up for my truck and camper. . No sagging and great sway control! I have a f150 pulling 32ft camper. Going 70-75 mph with ease. Worth every penny. Only suggestion need an easier solution when leaving the camper to be serviced . I have to tie the bars up so others can tow without having to leave your hitch with them.1772998

One star after about four months my distribution hitch started losing air. My last trip I was in Michigan and it completely lost all compression. After driving 200 frightful miles to my next stop I called BW and they could not explain what or why it was losing compression. I had 7 hour drive to get home so I ended up removing there hitch and thank goodness I had not sold my original hitch with the bars. I had to drive the 7 hours get my old hitch and drive back to the campground and install it. B&W did give me a full refund and wanted the hitch back to research on what went wrong. The concept of there hitch to add air to level trailer worked great but mine failed miserably.1754503

Hitch has been great for the last year. Towing a 12k lb 30ft Toy Hauler when loaded with a Ram 2500. Have towed only about 2k miles in the last year and have had zero issues. When passing or being passed by big rigs or other RV’s I haven’t had any sway.

Setting it up and taking it off is very simple compared to my previous wdh I had with the torsion bars.1765621

I have only used the Continuum hitch twice since I bought it and so far it seems to be a great product . I actually told one of my coworkers about it today 4/18/2024 and he was really interested in it. Of all the weight Distribution hitch this is far the best I’ve ever owned.1769424

It did phenomenal. We were in back roads, 40 mph cross winds on the highways and it handled it all very well. Set up was nice and easy. Nicole R at etrailers was amazing and made sure I got it on time for my trip.1621357

I was on the fence about buying this hitch because of the bew technology and the price but I'm glad I did. Right out of the box you can tell this is a quality hitch. All the components look very well made. Installation was very simple. I had to relocate my brake safety switch and move my propane tanks back and I still completed the installation in a little over an hour. I took my camper for a 50 mile test drive in 20 mph sustained winds and the hitch performed flawlessly. The best part of this hitch is no more spring bars. So far I'm very happy with my purchase.1584967

An equalizer hitch for the 21st century! I likely missed this in the instructions...unlike conventional equalizers, the foot of the tongue jack must be retracted above the spring bars when towing.1752183

I love the continuum setup! Installation was pretty easy, and putting it to work is even easier. I had the E2 10k round bar setup before, which did the job for sure, but this one does it better and so much easier. It takes seconds to hitch up now and I like knowing I can dial in exactly how much tension I want for how much weight is in the trailer plus the bed of the truck.1744166

Love this hitch, works awesome with my toyhauler. Varying tongue weights with or without SxS in the back, this makes it extremely fast and easy to get this set up.

Very satisfied with this weight distribution unit- easy to hook up and unhook (some learning curve involved). For a TT application, the hydraulic hose fitting on the cylinder really needs to be a 45deg, as the hose binds/kinks against the LP bottle mounting base. I loosened the jam nut, and turned the fitting slightly to the side to eliminate most of the issue. The bleeder valve knob is sometimes a little hard to use, but I'm not sure what kind of valve would work better- maybe a spring loaded valve with cam lever.1732012

Makes hooking up very smooth and easy compared to using load bars that are difficult and a bit scary to pull up. No noise while turning and are very stable while towing. I love that I can set the load distribution with a quick pump. Awesome customer support when I accidentally damaged the load carrier. No questions asked and replaced. Thanks B&W!1767959

Have not had a chance to tow the camper very far yet, but the installation and set up was straight forward and easy for me to do, my only concern in the ground clearance.1774710

So far, I’ve towed 1000 miles with a 2018 Diesel F350 SB pulling a 30 foot TT that weighs about 10k lbs on highway and single lane roads on level and through mountains. The Continuum certainly is easy to hook up and unhook, it helped ride quality by reducing porpoising and sway. Made truck suck and bump non existent. Very easy to fine tune by pulling over with a half pump or to relieve pressure. The instructions, materials and workmanship of the parts were very good.
Overall it made my ride quality much better and sets up easier than most other wdh. This hitch certainly has a higher price point but the easy adjustability helped me justify paying the higher price for it.1685903

The hitch arrived a few days earlier than original estimate which was great. Two packages that were packaged well and arrived in excellent shape.

Installation was a breeze. It took a little longer than estimates in the instructions since I took my time and went very slow to make sure 1) I did it correctly and 2) I understood how the different parts worked together. I did have to relocated a couple wiring items to ensure they didn't interfere with the hitch set up. They were minor, and truthfully moved to ensure I didn't get a pinch or rub on any wiring in the future. They weren't really in the way for install, but while I was at it, I wanted to make sure I didn't get a surprise 1,000 miles down the road with an unintended rub, so I just re-routed to a more suitable location.

Connected the trailer and applied the correct pressure (after doing the math), and did a 10 mile trial run. Calculations were spot on and applied at 75% FALR. The next day, did a longer trial run at both city road speed (avg. 35mph) and around 25 miles at highway speeds (65mph). Was a breezy day (20kt crosswinds), and the truck/trailer performed remarkably well and was extremely stable. Tow vehicle is a Ford F150 Waldoch Package and with Ford's Max Trailer Pkg (14K max) pulling Grand Design travel trailer, 23BHE, at 8K tow weight, hitch weight a bit over 800lbs.

I am extremely pleased with the purchase of the B&W Continuum hitch. It is just so easy to set up, disconnect, and adjust. And it is solid...on the road and in its construction....very well made and heavy duty construction.

B&W has hit it out of the park with this one!!

Ordered this hitch on Friday afternoon at 5 pm and received on Tuesday morning. Watched install videos and took approximately 2 hours to install due to having to notch propane rack and move battery ground cable. Works like a champ.1704953

Fast shipping, another great product of B&W. The installation was straight forward and very fast. Easy to use and worked perfectly for my application.1708683

Wasn’t what I hoped it would be. Hooking up was cumbersome. The pump handle was difficult to operate. Constantly needing to adjust. And was never truly “distributed”. Towed twice with it before I went back to a traditional WDH with bars.1760619

I recently purchased a B&W Continuum WDH. To be brief the install was a bit more difficult on my Rockwood 2508BS. The propane tanks are on a u shaped channel that had to be cut as shown in one of the videos. My battery box was also in the way and I had to drill through the tongue with one of the mounting bolts for the hydraulic unit. Took it on my first trip of about 120 miles this weekend and I am very impressed. Most of my driving took place on some winding secondary roads. The pull was comfortable with less bounce than my previous 4 point anti-sway WDH. (I did with my previous hitch, have the right sized hitch set up and dialed in for my trailer.) I encountered some stiff side wind and again no sway. Passing semi trucks coming from the other direction or when on a 4 lane hwy with them passing me, again no sway problems. To illustrate the difference, with my previous hitch, my dw could not sew while we were traveling because of bounce induced by the stiffness of the old hitch, now she is able to with no difficulties. For me the biggest plus is setup and takedown. No longer do I need to jack up the tongue after hitching to the ball and then prying on or off the heavy spring bars. This chore is even more difficult when the TV is at an angle to the trailor. I simply pressurize the hydraulics and I am done. Much simpler and less work. Well worth the cost over the 6-8 hundred dollar steel spring bar brands. Yes I highly recommend this hitch.1567850
