Question:

Hi, Can the gearbox be mounted horizontally 90 degrees rotated from the way it is shown? It appears from your photos that the crank rod stem on the lead leg is centered above the leg. My current gearbox it is mounted horizontally so the crank rod stem sticks out in front of the trailer frame tube, to which the leg is mounted. Thank you.

The gearbox # RVLG-RDBOX for the Landing Gear Set w/ Handle # RVLG-8HDL can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical position. I went out to the warehouse and tested both the gearbox and lead leg together and the pins that hold the gearbox in place match up perfectly for both positions (pictured below).
