Portable Power...mounting ideas

[DarbyWalters]

I have a Jayco White Hawk 29REKS with dual AC units...50 amp plug.

I am wanting to be able to camp without hookups on Port A Beach.

I am wondering if it would be feasible to "mount" a generator/invertor (something quiet) somehow on the rear bumper. I want it to be secure from easy theft.

Then I have to decide on size and fuel. On the beach, I would probably just use 1 AC unit, Flat Screen TV and Lights. The fridge and hot water heater could run off propane. If I got a propane generator, I already have a line run from the front bottles to a BBQ Grill hookup that we don't use.

I want to do this right and spend good money ONCE. Any suggestions/pics would be greatly appreciated.

Hi DarbyWalters. I also have a WhiteHawk and I don't believe that it's possible to mount a generator on the rear bumper as they're pretty "feeble". You might check this out. http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Cargo-Control/Stromberg-Carlson/CC-255.html?feed=npn&gclid=CKG_94TVisYCFQSUfgodC4AAtw

If link doesn't work go to the etrailer site and look up Stromberg-Carlson. It's pretty cool.

It's not impossible but a few things to consider;
1) the rear bumper will have to be reinforced to handle the weight of a generator..welding a custom rack to the frame. It will void any frame warranty.
2) the sound and vibration of an attached generator WILL be obvious inside the TT regardless of what genny you buy.
3) be very mindull of exhaust fumes entering the TT from windows or vents from a genny running that close to yor unit.
