B&W Continuum For 2023 GMC Canyon Denali Towing Grand Design Serenova 160LG  

Best thing I have ever bought for towing a RV. I had a 35 ft. tow hauler and towed it with a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. I was white knuckling with the Anderson chain setup. Hated it! Bought the B&W and never looked back. I could drive with 1 finger if I wanted to.

Ray F., It sounds like you are conservatively within the weight parameters of your proposed rig. I believe that your most challenging task will be to determine the correct amount of load to transfer to achieve the optimum balance. But, with this system, it is still very forgiving if you get it incorrect. This is the first time I have ever talked about this product. I bought the largest (16k) B&W unit in 2024 and have towed with it going on 100 trips. I use this system to haul equipment and have never towed a camper with it. Some of those trips were over 2500 miles each with loads that were very close to the 16k limit on the system plus up to 1000 lbs. of load in the bed of the truck. I knew when I bought this system that I would be pushing it near its limits, so I was cautiously optimistic. I spent many hours evaluating this and other systems before I bought. Every tow has been completely flawless except for the one time that pumped too much weight off of the rear end of my truck. I tend to test things by slowly changing parameters and then looking at the results. It was a rainy day and as I was aggressively accelerating on an interstate on-ramp with about 15,000 lbs., I felt wheel spin. Needless to say, this surprised me, however the trailer was planted and never became the least bit crossed. It performed perfectly, like the truck and trailer were one, only that my rear tires were spinning. I corrected the imbalance at the next stop and it was no longer an issue. Again, it is very forgiving. While I haven't compared this system to others by buying and testing them, I cannot imagine a better or safer tow. It is a durable and effective system. Here are a few points that I've learned about storage. First, when you unhook, use your safety chains in a crossed fashion to hold the connection hardware off the ground. This keeps everything clean, especially the release pin. Second, once the unit is disconnected and elevated, pump the system up so as to retract the piston shaft all the way into the unit. This keeps the piston shaft protected in the cylinder's oil bath. This will keep it from ever rusting or getting debris attached to it which will eventually ruin the seals. Once it is all the way retracted, it will show about 10 lbs. or so. Open the valve slightly to relieve the pressure on the system back to zero, then close the valve again. It is now sealed up tight and protected. When you begin to reattach the system to your truck the next time, set the unit on the ground, open the valve and push the piston shaft out by simply standing on the unit with your foot. Then, attach it to your truck. I believe that you will be very satisfied.
