New Horizon RV, one of the top high end 5'vers out there, just started mounting their generators to the rear of the trailer- just past the rear most axel. Great idea
Enjoy the road. We do.

I am still waiting on an answer on how you service it in the New Horizions. It's in a box mounted just behind the rear axle.
On the Crossroads you didn't say the age but look carefully at your warranty. Any welding or modification to the frame voids the warranty, at least on every Crossroads product I have seen. That tells me the frame is marginal to begin with. The generator is close to 300 lbs and 10 gal of gas (appx 10hr run time) is another 70+. Add fuel tank weight and brackets etc. You're going to be hanging 500 lbs off the rear. I wouldn't do it. My 2 cents.
