If you have your trailer frame strengthened when installing the hitch it will work. Your hitch needs to be mounted to the trailer frame as the main support. Whatever you have mounted, I'd want to make sure it has a load capacity of about 1500 pounds. You may never load anything near that much weight on the carrier, but even a couple hundred pounds hanging behind can cause an easy 1500 pound force on the trailer frame and hitch. So the "beefier" you can install, the better it will be.
My camper came with a factory installed hitch, and I have a carrier. The hitch has a 350 pound limit warning label. At first I thought this is not much and I was somewhat disappointed. But after thinking about the weight bouncing back there, it made sense. So my total weight hanging on the hitch and bumper is probably right around 100 pounds. Not more.
