Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we are taking a look at the B&W Continuum weight distribution system. Now, this is gonna be available in four different configurations. And really, it's gonna come down to your shank or the style of trailer you have. So, you can get it in a two-inch shank here or a 2 1/2-inch, depending on your truck. And you can also get it with or without a cylinder extension and that's gonna be for your standard trailers versus your underslung trailers.

Now, if you've seen the traditional weight distribution system, you're probably looking at this and saying, "That looks a little bit different." And it is. And it's really addressed some of the issues that you have with your traditional style of weight distribution and, I think, fixed a lot of them. And the main thing that you're gonna see that's different is the size. Normally, you have bars that extend to really get that tension and this one works a little bit differently by using a hydraulic cylinder and a pump. And that way, you can adjust exactly where you want it to be.

So, you do get a little bit of adjustability as well. Now, normally, when choosing a wheat distribution system, you have to match it to your tongue weight. And a lot of times, you're gonna be matching it to the gross trailer weight of whatever travel trailer you have, and that's not the case here. This one has a range of a tongue weight from 600 to 1,600, so it's gonna work with a bunch of different travel trailers and that's gonna be really nice. So, if you ever upgrade down the road, you can take this Continuum and put it on there.

Even if the tongue weight changes, you're still gonna be able to use it. Now, as far as your gross trailer weight rating on this, it's rated up to 16,000 pounds, which is really gonna open up the window for whatever size travel trailer you may have. Now, your traditional-style bars are gonna use a head that's very similar to this. This one attaches a little bit differently, but it's gonna give you kind of the same idea. It's going to tension here on our brackets.

And those are gonna need to either be bolted, clamped down or welded onto your trailer. And sometimes, that's where it can get a little bit tricky, as far as finding space to mount that up. This one, being a little bit shorter, mounts kinda right behind the jack and normally right in front of your propane tanks and you really only need 2 1/2 inches of clearance to be able to make that work. Now, one of those added benefits to the new design of this is gonna be storage. So, traditionally, when you're done towing, you're gonna have to store those bars, whereas this one lives on the jack. They give you a mount. And that way, when you separate this, you can place it here and that's gonna keep it from dragging or getting in the mud and just keep it nice and clean and in a nice spot. Whereas if you are at a campsite or at home and you're done using your traditional style, you're gonna have to store these somewhere, so you'll either find a spot in your truck or your RV. But again, these do have to go somewhere, they can't just live on there. Setting up a traditional style also requires adjusting the pitch. That way, the ball's gonna be at a nice spot when that's tensioned up. Well, you can see, our Continuum already has that pitch. So, when you hook up and use that hydraulic cylinder to add pressure, it's going to stabilize that out. So, that's one less thing that you have to worry about. To adjust height on a standard one, you are gonna have to take these bolts off and retorque them down, wherea
