if this is the frame under the trailer the bolt on hitch hitch is every bit as bad as using the bumper mount… keep the bikes inside the TT or somewhere on the TV…
While this picture is cool it can be misleading.
The 'box' of the RV provides a lot of stength to the RV - the major portion l would bet - so to me, a picture of the chassis by itself does not make the case for not mounting the bikes at the rear. l do agree that a bolt-on hitch at the rear is a bad idea but not because the frame is a lightweight one. The failure is typically localized to the bolted-on mounting location or the light fillet welds between the bumper and the longitudinal runners (girders) of the frame. If a hitch assembly were properly welded to these girders there would be no strength problem.
