Adding a cargo carrier to the rear of the camper

Several months ago, I purchased a cargo carrier from a local store. It sat in the box, in my garage until yesterday. I finally decided to assemble it, and mount it on the camper. This carrier is meant to be folded when not being used, but the spare tire is in the way. I can move the spare tire to one side, but I didn't realize was how large the cargo carrier was. It expands almost the entire width of the bumper, so even with the tire to one side, it would still be in the way. Also, I didn't realize that the cargo carrier required a 2" receiver. I can get a 1 1/4" to 2" adapter, but the longest that I found is 10" in length. I'm not sure if that will be long enough to get beyond the spare tire.

For the most part, I only intend to put coolers on the carrier, but I have a generator that I will occasionally put on the carrier. Cooler / generator combined weight would probably be less that 100 pounds, so I really don't weight to be an issue.

Has anyone dealt with this? If so, how did you resolve it?

Thanks

Daryl
