There are no custom-fit covers offered for your B&W 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3600 which measures 43 x 34 x 19; I checked with B&W to confirm. But we do offer a universal-fit cover from Reese that measures 28 x 18 when in its relaxed state, part # RP30055. We also have a Classic Accessories cover # CA80116 that measures 24 x 24 x18. Neither of these will stretch to cover the entire B&W hitch and base but either of them will cover the hitch head portion.
