I have intimate knowledge of these junk pull out racks. A good friend has one of these on his 5er and has had nothing but trouble. He won't even use it anymore for the bouncing before he lost 2 bikes. But just for the naysayers who say the rest of us are busy body's or whatever here are some weights involved.
Gen 260 lbs (per web site)
Propane 110 lbs for 2 full 30 pounders (per interweb lookup)
Spare tire and wheel 75 lbs (65 of which is lookup wheel est at 10
Aluminum cover 15 lbs (est)
------------------
Total 460 lbs Plus the 150 lbs the manufacturer states the rack weighs. One SC I95 expansion joint and this is throwing sparks down the road.
