I currently have a toy hauler and roll my honda 3000 up in the back and strap it down. Real easy and no heavy lifting. I am looking at selling it and getting a TT. Where do you put your Generator? I don’t want to have to get a ramp and put it in the back of my truck so I am looking into options. Can a mount be made/welded to the back frame and set it there?
Any ideas/pictures are appreciated

Only places I can think of are in the truck or on the back of the camper. And as mentioned, if you are mounting that much weight, and the TT does not come with an appropriate rack, be sure to take to a weld shop and seriously strengthen then bumper / rack. Our Outback TT came with a rack like this. It is rated to 200 lbs according to the sticker. We use it mostly for bikes but it would work for that application. That said, this exact reason is why I went with 2 2000w vs a single 3500. They are easy to lift into the truck. Or stay toy hauler. I often think about moving to a toy hauler to add more hauling space
Welding on a rack to the square tubed rear bumper of a trailer requires strengthening the bumper tube and mounting area. What weighs 100 pound sitting still can be a down force 5 times that on a pothole. A few potholes and the bumper could be ripped off. A good welder can do the job in a couple of hours. Me? I use an electric lift to hoist my generator and 5th wheel hitch onto my truck bed.
