Jayco Eagle DIY Rear Storage Platform
Pic of Platform Never been fond how most aftermarket storage units flex and rotate on bumpy roads--especially when the load is not balanced. I took a larger platform I fabricated for under chass...

Good job.
I did much the same, except it is attached on top of the frame before the bumper. My camper is fairly low and I was worried about dragging.
I like how yours is easily removed. I’d have to unbolt mine, but it does fold up.
I considered using the same type of fold-up platform you used. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough clearance between our trailer's body and the bumper for the mounting hardware.
FWIW, just finished fabricating this generator cage that mounts on the rear platform. We can use padlocks on all 4 corners, but we typically only use locks on the opposing corners and nuts/bolts on the other 2. The top and side covers all slide in and out for access while the generator is inside the cage. Considered using some nice, shiny aluminum diamond plating as covers, but thought it may attract a bit too much attention--lol! Have an extra set of covers with cut-outs for use when the generator is operating. Provides good ventilation for the generator while also protecting it while operating it in the rain.
The cage (with the generator inside) can be slid/mounted far left, center (as shown), or far right on the rear storage platform.
Next project is a bike rack which attaches directly to the upper part of this generator cage.
