Im planning on having the gen on a hitch platform behind the trailer.
Thereby unloading the trailer tongue with so much weight so far aft of the axles. :R And is this "hitch platform" going to be welded or bolted to the trailer's main frame members? Hope so. ;):E
Yes it will be on the frame. Are these really that sensitive to weight distribution? The whole deal will probably weigh around 200lbs. I've towed an empty one, the one my uncle owns actually his truck broke down on the way to buy it, but never loaded. I figure I should be able to balance I out with random camping stuff in the front cubbys. With the electrical I planned to run it through some conduit a right against the floor. If something breaks through conduit I probably have more things to worry about than a messed up electrical system. I guess the biggest thing I was worried about is if running down the hwy at 65 70 mph would harm the roof ac while running. I also wanted to see if anyone else has done it. That way if it worked I could just play copycat.
