Steady fast
I specifically chose the Steady Fast because of the longer arms. Longer arms triangulating works very well (I'm sure an engineer can better explain torque moments etc to illustrate the advantages of...

Steady Fast
No issues with the battery compartment at all. I did have to route the propane hose under top part of one of the cross bars. Works fine.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I figured getting some use out of the available quick connect was worth a try; getting a custom extended hose is the (most) right decision for me.

Steady Fast
I second the Steady Fast endorsement. Have had them on two trailers and they are the best. No movement at all; you have to see it to believe it. Well spent $ 300.00.
