Dad had a welding shop put a platform on the back of his previous trailer. They cut the bumper off, extended the frame about 24", made a nice platform with expanded steel and then a cage to go over generator and a couple of gas cans. His trailer had the axles towards the back of the trailer so he was fine on tongue weight with Honda 3000UI and 10 gallons of extra gas. The cage was hinged and locked down and if it was raining, it was easy to put tarp on and still allow airflow for generator.
His new trailer has builtin generator and is toy hauler..
Our previous trailer was a toy hauler with a 5500 Onan. We miss the electric start and the ability to run two a/c's---but, we don't miss the size and weight (5th wheel). My wife especially doesn't miss the "garage" atmosphere"!
