If you are planning on using this type of carrier on the bumper of the trailer instead of the tow vehicle I would do some serious beef up of the trailer frame/bumper metal works.
There isn't much to work with on the OEM RV trailer bumpers...
There are a few photos here on this google link showing what others have done. Might give you some ideas.

The unit he is considering is a receiver-mount carrier. On my former 5th wheel, it had a frame mounted receiver installed at the factory. He should however verify the tongue weight rating of his receiver.
