Power tongue jack questions

Question

I'm looking at power tongue jacks. Problem is I don't have a lot of room as I need to be able to open the tailgate and the propane tanks are close. I'm looking at the Barker and Atwood 3500's but can't find any dimensions on the head unit.

Can you rotate the head unit when you install it?

Anyone have any photos or dimensions they can share?

It looks like the head unit on the Atwood is a little smaller in the photos I can find?

You can rotate the head on the barker. I had to rotate mine so I could lower my tailgate when hooked up.Happy trailsKyle

They can all be rotated. The Atwood looks more compact to me.

Thanks.  Rotated 360 degrees, or just to the three different clockings using the mount bolts?

They can be rotated, but the light won't shine on the hitch then. Also check the manual crank operation for clearance problems. On many, the propane tanks are in the way. Neither of these issues apply to a top motor jack, ie: Atwood.
