The mac daddy of bike rack overload?

No way I’d drive behind him anywhere within a quarter mile.

I always keep a considerable distance behind any trailer, if this doesn't convince you to do the same, nothing will.

My concern isn't the trailer frame, but the size of the material. It looks way small to be carrying that much weight. Got to be at least a couple hundred pounds sitting, and bouncing, way back there.

I'll bet there's a weight limit for that construction, and I'll also bet all that stuff is way over that limit.

I doubt it, the bumper is 4" square and the square tube holding the generator looks to be 2" so it should be able to carry that weight. I used 2-1/2" angle on mine and it held up well.

Seems to be a lot for the back of a camper, but...

10,000 watt?!? Heck, most "standby" home generators around me are only 5,000 watt. Obviously you would have no concern about running anything on the camper, even all at the same time, but wouldn't you burn through those propane tanks pretty quick?

Look again, that's not mounted to the bumper, the frame is designed by Keystone to telescope out like that specifically to carry cargo like bikes, generators, etc.



I did similar to our Terry, I cut the bumper off, extended the frame, and re-attached the bumper. I contacted the senior engineer at Lippert who advised that the frame was more than capable of supporting the added weight.

Good thing he is selling it! Imagine being on the road with him.
