You might try this test before moving forward. Get a really good scale and position it under the hitch at the ball point then check the tongue weight. Then get a 100# kid/person to stand on the rear bumper. Check the tongue weight. Add another 100# person, check the tongue weight. That will tell you how much tongue weight you will lose by adding the generator/carrier to the rear area. Then you can compensate any tongue weight loss by loading the inside of your trailer heavier at the front to get back to a good balance for your trailer.
