Plasma800,
You have a good looking set-up. It isn't mentioned so I will add and you can tell us that it's taken care of. Make sure the trailer and truck are loaded for travel before lowering the hitch. I don't know anything about B&W hitches, so this is just a general observation. If you put gear in the truck bed or more weight at front or rear of the trailer, it will effect final level. I have found that water is a big factor. The grey and black tanks are usually empty and the fresh is full when I pull out. So I am carrying about 90 gallons, which comes to nearly 750 pounds of water. Then, for me, weight moves forward as water goes from fresh to grey or black. I might be overly sensitive because the weight of the 5th wheel I am using gets close to the truck's rear axel limit. If you have been pulling 5th wheels since 2013, you probably know all about this, and more than me, already.
