Availability of Bolts for Upright Arms on Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/12/2024
Question:
I had to move the legs on my BandW Patriot 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch. I need to replace the 8 bolts, nuts, and lock washers that hold the legs to the base since they have been torqued once already. I dont see those bolts listed separately on etrailer. Are those bolts available to purchase?

Hi Lamar; the bolts from the upright arms used on the # BWRVB3255 are not something that we carry. You can order them directly from B&W or pick them up from the local hardware store. What you need is BOLT, HEX HEAD, 1/2-13 X 2, GR 8, YELLOW ZINC.
