Updated 04/01/2015 | Published 03/30/2015



Question:

What is the difference from the 3500 to the 3500-5w?

Expert Reply:

There is no difference between B&W Companion part numbers # BWRVK3500 and # BWRVK3500-5W. We just have slightly different part numbers for the same hitch which allows it to show up in two categories through our fit guide. The 5W just stands for fifth wheel.
