Hooking up a weight distribution hitch doesn’t need to be a workout. With the B&W Continuum, you use a pressurized handle on the driver side to raise and lower the flexible LiteFlex load bars—no prying or snapping steel bars into place. The hydraulic pump lets you dial in the exact tension you want for your load, whether you’re towing a small enclosed trailer or a large camper. Since it adjusts through hydraulic pressure, you can fine-tune your setup quickly and even make changes on the side of the road if your load shifts.
No more popping, grinding, or screeching around corners. The Continuum’s hitch head uses silent friction sway control built right into the connection point. This internal damping helps hold the trailer steady without any add-on sway bars or noisy friction brackets. It gives you a smoother, more relaxed towing experience—especially when passing semis or traveling through crosswinds—while keeping your ride quiet and controlled.
Built to handle a wide range of trailers, the Continuum supports tongue weights from 600 lbs up to 1,600 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 16,000 lbs. The flexible composite load bars respond to both light and heavy loads, giving you stability without the harsh stiffness of traditional spring bars. Heavy-duty cast iron components with a durable powder coat finish make the system tough enough for years of long-distance towing.
Once installed, the Continuum stays ready to go. The hitch head has a preset angle, so you won’t need to mess with washers or bracket angles every time you hook up. Built-in grease zerks make maintenance straightforward—just a quick pump from your grease gun and you’re set. Since the system connects entirely from the driver’s side, it’s fast to use and easy to disconnect when you’re ready to park.
Finding the perfect balance is simple. Pump the handle to set pressure, then check the gauge to see when your tongue weight is evenly distributed. Record the psi reading in the included log so you can recreate your ideal setup every trip. If the ride feels stiff or bouncy, just release a little pressure with the built-in knob until everything feels right. The result is a level, stable tow with less bounce, less sway, and a more relaxed drive.

This hitch makes towing, hooking up soooo easy! You can easily do everything from the driver side there’s no unhooking any weight distribution bars. Only thing is if you don’t use the hydraulic on it you may have to push that down to lower you continuum so you can hook it up. Not hard to do the set up of everything took a little time but again, that wasn’t hard to do. Overall very happy with this purchase!!!
Good packaging. High qulity product. Relativly easy instalation, just had to carve on the propane tank cover a little bit. Is it better than a std bar system ? I don't know. BUT depending on your truck ht and spring package hookup can be a pain. The ball ht is dictated by the req spring bar angle and in my case the trailer jack doese't go high enough for the spring bars to engage the ball mount w/o 7 inches of wood under the jack. the truck is not lifted. Bar angle is not mentioned in the instructions as are a few other things you should know. Technical assistance is ecellent! BUT it seems if you don't use the exact termonology that they use they don't understand the problem your having. Frustrating......
So far so good. We had the Continuum installed at the trailer dealership. The tech installing the unit had not seen one before but was still able to install it in about 1.5 hours. He was so impressed that he brought the Manager out to see it and ask that they start selling. Easy to assemble and install. We hooked up and drove about 20 miles over back roads and highway to get home. It was a nice ride, very comfortable. Thanks to William S. and etrailer for quick shipping and the email correspondence.
I’ve owned the hitch for a year. I love it’s easy set up and transferability to different trucks.
Hitch arrived in 2 days without a scratch. Perfect fit for my towing situation.

Now using on the same camper and a different tow vehicle. Never a problem, just does what it is supposed to do, distribute the tongue weight and keeps the trailer from wagging its tail….. Great hitch!

Only have driven with the new configuration for 20 miles but so far so good. The installation was not hard. We do suggest watching the videos for installation and setup on YouTube. The bouncing I was experiencing is now gone.
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.

I love it! Ive had zero hint of sway. Backing with it isnt a concern. One thing that I didnt see in the instructions: when towing, retract the tongue jack leg above the hitchs load bars or they can come into contact in a turn

Bought this for use with an aluminum 7'x16' enclosed trailer with a 2020 Tahoe as tow vehicle. Wife is the driver mostly and has expressed nothing but positive comments and loves the towing improvement, I have also been driving the combination and the B&W Continuum has been a great hitch! Controls sway and is easily adjustable to customize the weight distribution, exactly what we were looking for since our load in the trailer changes. Initial setup was easy, and we both know what our normal load requires on the pressure gauge for proper weight distribution, and she also knows by how the steering and tracking of the Tahoe feels how she might need to add or subtract pressure on the hitch to make it work great at the next stop. There is a slight learning curve with hitching and unhitching with the way the load bars hook into the hitch, but you'll figure it out easily. Overall A great hitch! Only thing is I wish B&W would offer a hitch mount bar with a longer leg, I could use about 2" lower hitch height on the Tahoe, as my enclosed trailer has a fairly low hitch height for level trailer attitude. I am likely going to flip my axles on the trailer, that should make it tow even better.

Hey Spencer! Thanks for taking the time to share both yours and your wife's perspective on the hitch. I think flipping your axles will help with the height a lot. Depending on the diameter of your axle and how many leaves you have on your springs, you could see about a 3-5 inch lift on the trailer, I know you mentioned 2". If you have a 2-3/8" axle you would want to get part # K71-384-00. If the axle is a 3" axle you would want to get part # K71-385-00.
This hitch system is incredible! once set up, it is easy to hook/unhook, and makes the camper and truck ride so smooth, and totally locked in together, the days of sway are gone, no creaking noises during turns, backing up is no problem, and disconnecting once at site is a breeze. I even changed trucks and it was easy to adjust to. This thing is hefty as all get out, very solid American made, durable and top quality. I highly recommend this system for anyone with a trailer of any type and have been telling my friends about it since I got it
Well made and more than enough weight transfer. I will be able to haul much more firewood along for camping. I’m heavy; maximum 12,200 w truck and trailer. Ive scaled multiple time around 11,300. My old bars did not transfer enough weight even with the jack up trick. After install I’m level now at 1500 pounds on gauge and will scale to see the difference. I took my sweet time with the install and took about 3 hours. I was worried about clearance issues but it has 7 and 1/4 inch clearance. This was not a cheap kit but after install before road test I felt like it was worth every penny.
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.
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!
This has been the best weight distribution hitch I have owned. We have been camping and towing all kinds of campers for over 32 years. This hitch is very easy to connect up camper and you can change when your load changes. Our current camper is 37 feet and around 10k we get no sway when trucks or semi’s pass. We bought hitch last year and towed from North Carolina to Page Arizona and back so got a good workout would not go back to top name brand X again.

32 years! I'd definitely say that you are the top enthusiast when it comes to towing! Better not let my boss know or I may be out of a job... I'm really glad this new system is able to keep up with your adventures!
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!
We bought the Continuum because we upgraded to a 37' TT toyhauler (11,000lbs) that I pull with a Ram 2500. The RV dealers guys installed it and it was their first time. (They knew it came out but hadn't installed one yet) I tell you that because the ride home was a white knuckler and I could barely go over 50mph. It was windy but everything I researched said something wasn't right so after getting home I took my tools and went to a level parking lot and pretended I was installing the hitch myself. I made a minor adjustment to one of the mounting bolts but most importantly I found the ball was not in the 1"-2" above the trailer tongue when level and not connected to the truck. The ball was too low. I had to move it up to get correct position. Also after connecting to trailer I found the correct poundage to pump the system to for my setup to achieve the correct ride height for my truck. We then took it for a test ride down the highway. Wow what a difference. It was so nice of a ride I had to keep watching the speedo to keep from going over 65mph. And one major thing I noticed right away is when going over bridges there is very little to no "porpoising". (All this was last year when we bought it in 2024) We got out a few times and it worked very well.
2025 We went camping for Memorial weekend and it was a very similar day to when I came home white knuckled from dealer in 2024. Very windy day and it was a dream hauling it. Yes I felt the wind but still had to watch speedo to keep it under 65mph.
One thing I still am getting used to is there is very little to do when hooking up and unhooking compared to the old bar style wdh.
I am very pleased with the Continuum on how well it works. I still have the concern of reliability but only time can tell but knowing it's a B&W product is what gave me the confidence to go for it initially. It's pricey but when set up correctly it is so much nicer of a ride than the normal bar style wdh ever gave us for 7 years with our 34' camper that we used to have that it is night and day.
And no popping and banging! lol

I really appreciate your review here David. Thanks for coming back a year later and laying out the full story. Glad you were able to figure out the install error and got it to work the way it's designed! I bet your story might help folks feel confident in their purchase too and how to possibly 'troubleshoot' if it feels off. So glad it was an overall improvement and that you are loving it!
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.
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.
Hitch works well with my GMC AT4 2500 truck and toy hauler. Easy installation and very quick connect/disconnect. Silent when towing. The truck tailgate can lower when connected after I rotated the Bulldog power jack 90 degrees to offer more clearance. When towing, ensure the jack foot is fully retracted so the jack foot is higher than the load bars. It will hit if level with the load bars during tight maneuvers or off camber.

Hitch still works great after a year. Probably towed 8,000 miles so far. Very quiet no creaks or popping and quick and easy connectdisconnect. I store the load bars in the garage when not in use.
I like the BW continuum hitch,, but I sure did not enjoy the delivery, it got shipped to the wrong address and town. Over an hour away. ??

aw man that's a bummer to hear. Were you able to meet up with the guy who got it, or how did you resolve it?
I recently purchased the B&W continuum WD hitch from etrailer and Ashley was on top of my purchase from start to finish! Purchase was very easy and product was delivered on time as promised. The team at etrailer made this purchase awesome! Ashley, thanks for all you do!
There's a learning curve on using it, but I really like it now. It's so much easier than the spring bars and anti sway bars I had before. Only one piece and I never have to lift the whole thing. Just half of it.
Very easy to install and adjust and worked great on my vee nosed trailer which most load leveling setups will not work
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 spent

Hey Charles! I was just reading through some reviews today and stumbled upon yours. Wanted to make sure everything is still holding up great. What was your favorite trip you took with the trailer in 2024?

Best hitch Ive ever owned. I pull a 10,000 pound trailer with ~1500 pounds of tongue weight. Im 73 and this is the hitch I use that is the easiest and quickest to connect disconnect without straining. It is easily adjustable if the weight changes due to how you load you camper. The greatest added bonus is how quiet it is. No more squeaking popping bars when you make any turn. No rust issues and I live on the coast of Louisiana

This thing is great. I just drove from Connecicut to Arizona using this hitch on an F350 pulling a 10’ motorcycle trailer. You might ask why did I need a weight distributing hitch on a dual rear wheel F350? Well it is because I have a truck camper in the bed and a 42” hitch extension. So this hitch mitigates the leverage of that long hitch extension. The infinite adjustability allows me to dial it in nicely. I suspect it is also helping to mitigate some sag caused by the weight of the truck camper. Truth be told, the hitch did drag on the ground occasionally at gas station entry ways, but it seems strong enough to handle an occasional scrape.

Glad to hear it worked well for you, Douglas! B&W definitely makes some nice stuff. ^___^ That's quite the trip as well! What kind of bike (or bikes) were you hauling?
Just installed this yesterday. I won't test the system out on the road until Friday. The installation was a breeze and attached to the truck hitch without any adjustments. The actual weight distribution portion was very light, maybe the weight of my last torsion bars. The hitch, now that's another story. It's a monster... but they all are. I'll report on the travel experience after the Memorial Day weekend trip.

Have a safe and great Memorial weekend trip, Greg! Can't wait to hear about how it goes.
Do you have a question about this Weight Distribution Hitch?

Year 2. Have over 2500 miles with the hitch. Everything still working great and still love the ease to switch between vehicles if needed.
