Generator for a trailer
Can a generator be permanently mounted on a small shelf attached to the back of a 33' trailer, or would it upset the trailer/tow vehicle balance?

- Depends on a whole lot of other factors.
How heavy is the generator, how far from the axle is it being the first two. Think leverage. - Though not recommended, I've seen it done by good fabricators. Get yourself a small inverter generator that can be carried in the back of your truck or inside the trailer.
- I would not put bikes on the back of RV much less a pricy generator
- You would be removing some weight from the tongue, how much is unknown without some measurements and weights. The weight removed from the tongue can be as much as the weight of the generator and shelf it sits on. All this weight will go on the axles, depending on how close you are to your capacity on the axles, you can overload them.
- Yes. No, but it would bounce a lot.
