I have put a bike rack back there, with two bike and rack it was close to 100lbs, and no issues. Yes, the square sewer hose bumper is not going to cut it, so mine was also welded to the actual trailer frame.
I think you will be OK with that 100 lbs back there as long as trailer does not sway because of it. This is not an ideal way to travel though. Most people put the riser frame so they can mount the gen over the propane tanks on the trailer tongue.
I put a front hitch on truck and put the gen there.
Either way, if the generator is mounted to a frame that is a receiver-style so it can fit into the hitch this would be more versatile.
