Generator Mount

[BurbanAZ]

We have a 15' jayco trailer and needed a place to mount our Honda generator. The bumper on the trailer is obviously designed to hold exactly that spare tire and no more, so that leaves a few inches of exposed frame to work with. I made a mount that I think should work pretty well. It's nothing fancy but it was quick and cheap to make and might be a good option for some other people instead of mounting everything to that sketchy bumper.

I made this out of just scrap I had laying around in my garage. Used a leaf spring u bolt to hold everything.

Too late, i know. Maybe it will help others who can't weld ?
I have seen these in use carrying 2 Honda eu2000i gens.

I like that too. I'll probably just copy that design and make one for the front. It would be nice to have some storage on the front of the trailer also. Seems pricey for that it is but I like the design.

It sure did seem solid when I grabbed onto it & push/pulled. It did not move at all. Lots of people won't/can't use it because all the weight of it & what's on it, transfer right to the tongue weight. I have a 3rd Gen Power Wagon with Hellwig Load Pro 35's & my camper only weighs 3500 lbs with a 350 lb empty tongue weight, so not a big deal for me. I will be buying one of them this summer i think.

I also have this for our 2 bike rack that is mounted to the rear bumper of our camper. Rock solid, no movement what so ever. I have literally seen a 5th wheel camper hit a big bump while carrying 2 bikes on a rack on its rear bumper & had a complete failure at highway speeds. Not sure what broke but it bounced up & failed on the landing. Bikes & rack were dragging on the road at highway speed. Glad they stayed on the rack long enough for me to avoid a catastrophe. They had no idea what had just happened. Took us a few minutes to even get their attention. Road trance maybe ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_hypnosis
