Question:

I’m looking at part BW28FR. My car hauler has a tongue that has the V like a normal one but it has a bar that is in the middle too. My question is will the part number work for my tongue

Hello Gary, thanks for reaching out. The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW28FR does fit an A-frame tongue, but if your tongue has a straight bar down the middle that would be an obstruction for the WD system so it will not work.

A better option for a WD hitch will be a more standard system like a Blue Ox. If you can let me know the GVWR or loaded tongue weight of your camper I am happy to look into it an recommend the correct system. Just let me know in the comments below and I will get back to you.

It’s an enclosed car hauler that is 28 ft long, GVWR is 9990 and I haul a 3100 pound Honda civic in the hauler. As far as the tongue weight I’m not sure but maybe 1000 to 1500 pounds . I have air bags and onboard compressor on the truck also. I like the blue ox weight and sway control so what do you suggest

@Gary The 15K Blue Ox Sway Pro part # BXW1503 is what I recommend for that. It is made for trailers with a tongue weight between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs and it sounds like you will be right within that range at all times. This will help a lot to reduce sway. I have always been impressed with the results you get from these Blue Ox systems. It will compliment your air bag system nicely. Just keep in mind the frame brackets need to be placed 29" back from the hitch ball so please make sure you have space on the tongue for the brackets.

@JesseM Is there a 2 1/2 inch option for the hitch receiver?

@Gary Yes there is! Take a look at the following: - Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control for 2-1/2" Hitch - 15K GTW, 1.5K TW # BLU54TR This is the same 15K system I mentioned above just this one comes with the 2-1/2" shank.
