Rear Cargo Carrier

Some of the Jayco Eagles have a rear sliding storage rack as an option. Works decent for a bicycle rack too, but not great. Rated for (IIRC) 250#.

I have a rack on the back of my trailer. I thought we would use it a lot, but have only used it a couple of times, our stuff goes in the back of the truck. The rack slides in/out under the trailer. The rear leveling jacks are mounted to the rack so they end up hanging down lower, limiting some ground clearance. When we bought the trailer (used) the previous owners had put enough pressure on the jacks, which put enough pressure on the rack's trolley bearings, to shear the little axle between the two bearings of the trolley. I tell all of this as a warning to think about the "whole picture"; dont focus on just the immediate problem. The trailer is a 2005 Keystone Cougar 301BHS.

Redracer, I am not looking to weld on a rack. looking for TT with factory rack option. Seems odd that Spree would offer it if their frame isn't built to handle it. Before my current TT, I had a small 5th wheel camper. I used a cargo tray on the rear receiver hitch many many times with no problems, ever. I did tie things down very well. Trusted it with my Honda EU3000i.

Keystone has a slide out type rear rack. Nash has a receiver and you can order their optional bike rack or tray. The frame on a Nash is built in-house and is off-road certified and a rear rack or carrier isn't likely to break off.

The KZ Sprees have a frame made from 3 pieces of 1/8" mild steel welded together and they flex a lot. I would not want a rack hanging off the back of a Spree because whatever you're carrying could be catapulted into orbit. We've had things bounce out of the sink in our rear kitchen, the stove grate jumps off and the open/close rod for the blinds falls off often.

Personally I would never use a rear rack because you can't see what's happening and won't know if something has been stolen, hit or flung off. There are carriers for above the tanks in the A-frame area. You might be able to get a carrier installed by a reputable frame shop with a certified welder on staff but you'll want a decent frame to start with. Adding shock absorbers to the TT would help.

I love my Columbus by Palomino, it has a 500 lb rack on the back that folds up when not needed.
