Why Doesn't B and W Patriot Slider Hitch BWRVK3270 Have Pin and Clips for Head Attachment
Updated 06/05/2023 | Published 06/02/2023
Question:
I have model BWRVK3270 I have seen on some of the bandw patriot models a safety pin that secures the coupler head to the pivot arms in addition to the saddle handles. How come this model doesnt have those and relies solely on the handles.

Expert Reply:
B and W came up with a different design for how the head of the B and W Patriot Slider part # BWRVK3270 attaches to the arms compared to other versions. This is a newer design so I would assume it's because they found a simpler way that made more sense and was still just as strong. B and W hitches are very solid and reliable so I wouldn't worry about this difference causing any issues.
