Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight distribution (WD) system. Adding load bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.
When your tongue weight is perfectly balanced, you can achieve sway control without the need for additional sway bars or noisy, friction-inducing brackets. The Continuum allows you to do just that. The single-piece load bar assembly on this system is designed to transfer weight off of the coupling point and evenly disperse it over the axles of your truck and trailer instead.
Other weight distribution systems require a ton of manual adjustment to get the weight balanced. You might have to switch out chain links or play around with the height of frame brackets to get the right tension on the spring bars. The tilt of the system head might need to be adjusted too to get the load distributed. But even with those adjustments, it can be almost impossible to fine-tune the system enough to get your tongue weight perfectly balanced.
The Continuum eliminates those manual adjustments and instead uses hydraulic pressure to raise and lower the load bars. This makes it way easier to activate the weight distribution because you only have to pump the handle on the driver's side. You won't need to circle your trailer to snap spring bars up individually. It also lets you quickly and easily fine-tune the tension to get your ride just right.
When you first install the Continuum, it might take a bit of time to get the load bar assembly, hydraulic cylinder, and hydraulic pump mounted on your trailer. But once everything is in place, setting up the system each time you tow is a snap.
The hitch head - which mounts in your vehicle's receiver and provides the attachment point for the Continuum - features a preset angle, so the only adjustment you might need to make is to move the head up or down along the shank. Unlike other weight distribution systems, you won't need to change out any hard-to-reach washers or readjust the tension on spring bars to get set up. The head also has friction sway control built in to help hold your trailer in line at the coupling point.
Instead of rigid steel spring bars that have to be manually snapped into place, the Continuum has a composite load bar assembly that raises with a pump of a handle. This assembly uses a flexible composite material called LiteFlex, which is strong enough to handle heavy loads, yet flexible enough to ensure that you won't have a rough, rigid ride at lower tongue weights. Because of this, the Continuum can handle anything from a small enclosed trailer to a large camper, allowing the system to grow with you.
Once you get your trailer hooked up and you're ready to transfer your load, just pump the handle on the hydraulic unit. This will raise the rear of the load bar assembly to distribute your tongue weight.
The knob on the side of the hydraulic unit allows you to back off some of the pressure you pump in so you can dial in just the right amount to get your towing setup balanced. Take note of the psi reading on the built-in pressure gauge once you're done, and record it in the included log for the next time you tow.
If you start to experience a bumpy ride while towing with the Continuum, it might be a sign that you've moved too much weight off of the connection point. Fixing this is simple: find a place to park and turn the built-in adjustment knob on the pump unit to release some pressure.
The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.
To determine the proper weight rating for a weight distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system.

Great hitch. Fairly easy insulation.
Very good quality, performers better than expected. The only thing I would add is locking hardware. Nylocks for the actuator mount and lock washers on the pump bolts. I'm a licensed A&P mechanic so I like hardware that stays tight. Otherwise this product is great
Great customer service.
Great product etrailer and bandw top notch companies!
Unboxing I found the pump release valve was bent looked like it was cut I did straighten it up so far it seems to be OK have traveled a little over 300 miles performed really well with the Heartland Torque T 314 it smoothed the ride out tremendously the handling was a big improvement over my last hitch and very quite ride great hitch
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.
You get what you pay for this hitch is really easy to use and it works really good
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.
Works great! Plenty of clearance and no sway or bounce. My ride is 100% better than without it. 2022 Ram Power Wagon 2500 towing a 32' campers 8000 lbs. Shipping from etrailer was the best as always!
Well thought out and reliable! My mom is 63 years old and I installed this in lieu of a conventional system because of the pump and gauge set up being easier for her to manage and adjust. She pumps it up until the gauge is to about 1300 PSI (sweet spot for her 30 foot trailer behind her gas f350) and hits the road. The unit has never lost pressure, also no visible wear or rust anywhere on the unit.
Great hitch. After winter storage I noticed a bit of the hydraulic fluid has leaked out onto the tank. Other than that issue it’s a great hitch.
So easy to use and makes hooking and un hooking the camper about a 1 minute ordeal. The ride is so much better as well without all the popping noises from chains.
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.
Truck - 2018 Ram 2500 (factory air bags)
Trailer - Momentum 30g
very easy to install and adjust. I installed it myself in about an hour. on a 27 ft dutchman travel trailer. dry weight of trailer around 5800 lbs. tongue weight of750 lbs. Immediately pulled trailer 350 miles with 2500 Ram pickup. no issues whatsoever. worked as advertised and was quiet. Its pricey but you get what you pay for with B&W.
