B&W Continuum hitch
I would like to hear from ORV owners who have used a B&W Continuum hitch.
Have you used other weight distribution hitches before and how do they compare?
Have you experienced dragging the hitch? How about on back roads?
Seems like once you are on back roads the bottom plate could be removed and problem solved.

Are you still thinking of going with the B&W hitch? I’m in a similar situation as you, with a 19MKS on order. At the moment, I’m leaning towards going with the Eaz-Lift TR3. My first choice would be the ProPride hitch I have sitting in my garage, but it’s the older version that has less leeway on where to place the jacks. I don’t want to be trying to install it in the dealer’s lot, only to find out the propane tanks are in the way.

Yes I will go with the B&W continuum hitch. I'm having the dealer install it for me. From ORV drawings of the A-Frame I think the propane tank base will have to be moved. I'll let them deal with it all.

I hope the B&W hitch works out for you. We use their Companion hitch with our 5er, and have always been happy with it. It’s solid.
I like towing with a beefier hitch, but my back likes the idea of a one that’s lighter. If the TR3 doesn’t work out, I’ll put the ProPride on the new trailer.

I also use the B&W hitch for our 5th wheeler. Today I ordered the B&W Continuum for the TT. I hope i like it as well as the other B&W hitch.

My dealer really likes the Blu Ox so that's what I got. I see it has many mixed reviews. I'll get used to it .

JMO but dealers like the Blue Ox because it's super easy to install. No head angle to adjust as it's factory built in. No messing with washers, L brackets or other WDH stuff.
20-30 mins for a good tech.

I've been running the Continueum Hitch for about 1 1/2 yrs now. For reference, I have a 2024 GMC 3500Hd and we're towing a ORV 28DBS.
I used to have a 20' Lance and used a Husky hitch with it. It worked well, but it doesn't compare to the B&W. The ability to set the PSI level that works the best for your set up is the best feature....play with a bit and suddenly you realize your cruzeing along smoothly with limited porpoising. And, not having to listen to the squallering from the hitch bars when you turn is a nice bonus.
Yes, I'd buy it again. One last thing, one of the cotter pins dislodged from the upper pin and it slightly bent the upper bracket. Sent a pic to B&W and there was a brand new bracket at my front door a couple of days later. They have my business.
I also use there hidden hitch system for that same truck and the workmanship is top notch. The machining is nuts on. Yes, they are not cheap. If you appreciate quality, performance and top notch customer service than you be the judge if you think it's worth it or not.
If you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer. Cheers.

FYI, Wandering Weekends just put out a 2 year update on this hitch on their YouTube channel.
