What Should The Spacing Be Between The Rails Of The B&W Custom Installation Base Rail Kit
Updated 07/11/2023 | Published 07/10/2023
Question:
I am looking into buying the rail and bracket kit I have attached below but I have been told there is a wide rail kit and a narrow rail kit. Would you be able to tell me what the spread is on these rails once installed?

The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506 along with a majority of all the other rail kits that we sell require that you space the rails 22" apart from center to center of the rails. There are a few outliers that custom for specific hitches but the 22" spacing is an industry standard. There are different length rails, which is most likely what you were being told about, but these specific ones are pretty standard.
I've attached a short video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation process.
