I think you got yourself turned around in the pictures- I installed mine this weekend and the "t" part is shown pointing in towards the center of the rv. As long as the cross bar does not hit the leg I do not think it would matter.

For me It would matter as I found a good place to mount to the frame that was not 90 degrees from the foot.

Good write up and pictures- I also went on top of plastic and sheet metal. When on the sheet metal I used washers to level the mount.

I thought I read on the steadyfast site instructions that the orientation of the foot was installer's choice and didn't really matter.

Sorry, auto correct bites again -steadyfast not steadfast. And I just found "edit" on tapatalk, corrected the auto correct but don't see a "delete" option

Steadyfast / Wheel chocks

I just ordered my Steadyfast last Friday; I am excited to get it installed. Does anyone have a recommendation for what type of wheel chocks work best with Steadyfast? I just purchased my fiver so I am still gearing up and don't have wheel chocks yet.

Some photos of the install. I need to zip tie the gas line back so it does not rub the brace.

dave-g, Howdy;

Thanks for showing a 'hidden hazard'. Nice pix.
What's the rear brace look like (attach points)?


Thanks

rear brace - attached to tube that goes to the bumper. Jack is up, that is why the bar looks level.

Installed my system

I installed my Steadyfast system last night, took me 4 hours. There were a few mistakes that I made that slowed me down a little. One big one was I don't have a tow vehicle because we are seasonal campers so I had to rig up some blocks in the bed of my 1500 sierra pickup and lower the trailer down until the landing gear was off the ground so I could change the foot pad. That with a few other minor items cost me about an hour. I actually didn't even walk inside yet to test how it works since I got done around 8:30 last night. I will let everyone know my opinion on how effective it is later today.
I can say that the quality of the material if first rate, they give you plenty of fasteners and mounting options. I had a new cordless drill that worked great and a Bosch cordless driver that was fantastic to install the bolts. Those tools helped make the install fast.

dave-g, Howdy;

Thanks for the reply and clarification.
I have already purchased a kit from Steady-fast.
As I full-time, and need to weild (I think so), the rear
bracket to the 'bike rack' I'm having that done today
in a few hours. Getting ready to re-locate
back to Utah, so this is also a 'test pack-up and systems
check'.

that the sliding tray (?), slides in and out in. Looks just like;

http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/sho...?t=4262&page=2

Post #18... We also weilded the new 'feet' (I bought 4), to the rear Satbilizer feet as they are the round ones and very thick.
I'll drill and mount the front system next week when I get back to Utah.
Pull out in the Morning....
