Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the BMW custom mounting brackets. These are going to be for your fifth wheel above bed base rails from BMW. Now those rails are sold separately for this particular kit. You'll need part number BWRVR3210.
Again, sold separately right here at etrailer.com. If you want to get those with your kit, that would be the part you need.But this is going to be a custom fit for the 2020 and newer GMC and Chevrolet trucks. It's going to be for the 2500 and the 3500 short and long bed. The only exception to that it's not designed to work with the carbon pro beds. Just not ready for that at the moment.
Basically what you're going to get is everything you see laid out here on the table. We'll get our custom brackets for the front and rear on either side, and then all the hardware to get everything installed. Also comes with some fish wires, so you can get your hardware going through the frame and everything lined up. The nice thing about this custom kit is that we don't have to worry about any frame drilling. You're not going to have to make any modifications to the truck frame.
Of course, you do need to drill some holes to get the rails installed so the hardware can go through, but that's the only modification we're making to our vehicle.Everything else is going to be designed to accommodate for the curves and custom fits the parameters for your frame. It should be a pretty easy, pretty straightforward install as far as a fifth wheel install kit goes. The nice thing that I like about BMW is it just seems like they take their time with making sure that everything is machined properly, everything fits well, and that it's a really nicely made system. Their powder coat is also going to cover all the surfaces really well. As you can see, everything is coated with that gray powder coat, which is BMW's signature.
That's going to help it to resist any kind of corrosion. The brackets are also made out of a sturdy steel.Everything is made in the USA. That's always a great addition to our kit that we know that it's American made. It is covered by a lifetime limited warranty from BMW. That's pretty much it as far as our look at the BMW custom mounting brackets. Again, the part number for the rails is going to be BWRVR3210, and that'll get you rolling with everything you need. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time. If you need any other accessories to go with your fifth wheel rails, we've got a lot of options and a lot of information here at etrailer.com. Definitely check it out. Thanks.

Review from a similar Patriot in Accessories and Parts
Have had this hitch for about a year now. Well worth the price. Dramatically reduced chucking and the slide works smoothly. 521751
Review from a similar Patriot in Accessories and Parts
Very happy with the quality and performance of this hitch. My previous hitch was a Reese 15K slider, it seemed to have a lot of excess play and was noisy when towing. The B&W is very solid with no apparent play, the slider moves easily . Installation was easy as it fit my existing universal rails almost perfectly and the tow head mounts were simple to install. 608687
Review from a similar Patriot in Accessories and Parts
We received the hitch and brackets packaged very well. The installation went well and pretty straight forward. We did not have our 5th wheel to set the height but took a lucky guess at 18". We picked the RV up and couldn't be happier with this hitch. Absolutely no chucking, very smooth ride. We have an uneven slope to back down to get to our RV pad and were concerned about that. With the swivel on this hitch, backed with no problem. We wouldn't settle for any other hitch if we have to ever buy another one. The RV sales and service people were very impressed with this hitch and the way it is set up with the frame brackets. Very happy customers! 558714

Excellent hitch! We go camping about every 4 to 6 weeks (year round) for 3 to 5 days at a time. This hitch is so easy to operate! 492263

All went together smoothly and plenty strong for my application which is a 27' fifth wheel Slider hitch. 407685
I am glad that you have something figured out. Another consideration would be for a headache rack for the rear window of your truck. This could be used in addition to your current system, but would just be another level of protection for your rear truck glass, before a small mistake becomes even more costly.

The hitch is more than one could ask for! It slides easily. I have no play when hooked to the trailer. Hooking and unhooking on uneven ground is not a problem. I would definitely buy again and again! 599627

Product outstanding, customer relationship most professional. The product is exactly as advertised. All of its characteristics have been utilized and work well. Definitely met my expectations and looking to use the Patriot 18K for years to come. It far and away out performs my previous 5th wheel. Great value. 868188

Great hitch, quiet (doesn't pop, creak or moan like Curt or Reese units I've used) and no huck-a-chucka slop! 830826

Hitch works perfectly, looks great and there is absolutely no noise. 819152
Review from a similar Patriot in Accessories and Parts
This hitch is quality and functions smoothly. The jaws are machined to a tight tolerance and i dont hear any shifting or clunking out of it. It is a little tall and i had to move my tongue all the way to the top position to use it. The slider is great for maneuvering and i actually use it to disconnect. Ill slide it all the way to the back, jack up the trailer, then release the jaws and slider, and slide it forward by hand. 814601

I haven't used the hitch yet but it seems very sturdy and easy to use. 808298
Review from a similar Patriot in Accessories and Parts
This thing is made tough! It slides very nicely also. I just mounted everything in the middle holes and it measured about correct. The only advise I would give in using the slide is when you lift the handle and move the slide always make sure the handle is bake in the down position before you do any thing else.. The first time we detached it was moved in the back position. When I pulled forward the trailer dropped about a inch and the slide slid forward and scared the crap out of us. since then we make sure the handle is locked in the down position and no more scary moments. 807216
