Question:
Can you mount a 4000 watt gas generator on the back of the Coleman 17rd?
asked by: Buddy
Expert Reply:
On your Dutchmen Coleman Lantern 17rd travel trailer, I recommend the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 which has a weight capacity of 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. Then for a 4,000 watt running generator like the Q-iPower # 289-AP5000 which weighs 117 lbs and has dimensions of 23-1/4" long x 17" wide x 18-1/2" tall, you will want a cargo carrier like the TorkLift Lock and Load # TLA7752. This will not only help carry the generator but also deter theft.
If you want a more economical option without the security features, I recommend the 20x48 Pro Series Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 6502 with anti-rattle hitch lock # 63232 and ratchet straps like # EM31352.
