I believe their is a rating involved. I'm not too sure about using the bumper which is really a tube to carry the sewer hose. I know it's a lot more beefy than most TT bumper/hose carriers but IMO, its a weak part of the setup. Mine is supported to the frame but its a thin tube sitting on brackets. I would not use it . pianotuna • View posts Regina, SK, Canada Senior Member Joined: 12/18/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/17/21 09:57am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had my bumper replaced with a custom made carrier. Before that I had a rack in the hitch for about 18 years with no problems--it held a Kipor Ti3000 generator.

Carrier is rated for 500lbs from HF but I never go that high as there is no need. The class IV husky hitch was installed with bolts years ago by a welding shop. Used same hitch on my Ram 2500 V10 and another Ram 1500 with good service (3 separate hitches).
