Hello,
I own a Hideout trailer, model 19FLBWE. I recently purchased a generator and instead of putting it in the cargo area underneath the bed, I would like to put a cargo rack on the back of the trailer. The bumper is not completely exposed or at least not enough to put a trailer hitch receiver on top of the bumper--I would have to put it on the bottom of the bumper and mount the cargo rack that way. I'm concerned about the overall height of the rack and whether the bumper would be strong enough to hold it. The cargo racks that I've been looking at can hold up to 300-500 lbs. Not that I would put that much weight on it, but I'm concerned about the strength of the bumper overall. Has anyone had an experience of adding a cargo rack to the back of their trailer? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
