Question:
I tow my jeep wrangler behind my motor home. Im looking for a cargo box ideally with a ramp so I can carry a honda eu700is generator dimensions 33 2/5 x 27 3/5 weight 300lbs behind my jeep wrangler which will then be towed behind my motorhome. i plan on using a winch to haul the gennie up the ramp onto the carrier

We do offer a range of ramp-equipped platform type hitch-mount cargo carriers that can work for your generator. You will want to confirm that the 2-inch hitch on the Wrangler is rated for the combined weight of the 300-lb generator plus the weight of the specific carrier you select. The Jeep itself also needs to be rated for this combined tongue weight, which will approach 400-lbs.
For a carrier that folds up when not in use you can consider the Flint Hill Goods # FHG77ZR which has a platform area that measures 50 x 30-inches and a 48-inch ramp. To fold up this carrier will need at least 4-3/4-inches of clearance from your hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the car.
