Question:
I want to purchase the bandW continuum, but my trailer has a center frame piece that goes to the hitch and is in the way. Are they coming out with one to fit trailers like mine?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System part # BW78FR requires at least 24" of space on the frame directly behind the coupler and along the side a few inches back from there. This works with most trailers but for some it will not and, unfortunately, this sounds like the case for you (I included a picture of a trailer it will not fit for reference). However, you can either make modifications to the frame or choose a different system as there is not a workaround for this, nor is there one in the works. With that being said, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System like part # EQ37100ET which is one of the best systems for the money and it's unmatched in sway control. If you need a different capacity, simply browse the list below.
Just as a side note, this will be the same as the 2-1/2" version # BW28FR as well as the 2" Underslung # BW53FR and 2-1/2" Underslung # BW88FR.
