Question:
what is the distance from rail to rail, all the instructions say to set the hitch in the first rail to get the location but I do not have the 5th wheel hitch yet, it is coming with the RV i am buying. it is the BandW RVB3270

Helpful Expert Reply:
The distance between the rails should be center to center 22" (pictured below). This rail spacing is considered industry standard. I've attached the installation video for the custom fit B&W rails # BWRVK2401 to help you with the installation so that you can have them ready to go for when your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000lbs # BWRVK3270 arrives.
