Question:
I just purchased a Jayco 265RLSW 30foot travel trailer. I have a generator that weighs approx 100lb that I am considering mounting on the back of the trailer. Could remove the spare tire and mount, keep it in the bed of my truck, and mount a small platform on a receiver for the generator. Is this possible with something you sell?

Expert Reply:
I have a great solution for you that will not require adding a hitch to the trailer so you won't have to move the spare tire and mount. Take a look at the Stromberg-Carlson cargo carrier # CC-255. It mounts at the front of an A-frame trailer frame and has a 300 pound capacity.
It holds the generator up above any propane tanks, jack, or other items already present at the front of the trailer. This unit will also be more stable than a hitch and cargo carrier mounted at the back of a trailer.
