Looking for ideas to mount a rack on the rear of an 8329SS

[Webhair]

I am looking for ideas on how to mount a rack to the rear of my Rockwood 8329SS TT.

I have read the comments about not welding to the frame.
I know about the issues bolting on 2" receivers to the bumpers (too light weight and not welded well to the frame.

I would not be carrying more then 120 pounds... Worst case my portable generator and Weber Q2200 grill.

Any sound suggestions and photo are welcome.

Put one of these on my TT and I can confirm it is rock solid and stout. Biggest pain so far that have to remove it to pull the propane cover. It is tall when your bike rack is on it and load it standing on the tailgate.

I installed the 4 square safety struts and am very happy with them. Very easy to install. Adds support to the whole bumper but does not weaken the thin metal with a weld.

I am not sure why people think you can not weld to the frame. It is just steel.
I cut the old bumper off. Welded a new piece of 4x4x3/16 to the frame and then reinforced the weld with angle iron. Weld three piece of angle iron that extend out from the rear of the trailer approximately 20" to the bottom of the new bumper and installed a 24" by 42" aluminum toolbox and made my own spare tire carrier out of square tubing that is welded to the bumper. Been on 2 years and traveled 12,00 miles from Florida to the west coast in California, up to Seattle, through the Rockies and the Smokey Mountains. Never a problem. Probably carry a 100 pounds in the box.

Some of the new Forest River trailers come with a frame mounter foldup rack. I'm sure you could purchase one.

See Post #2 for the beefed up receiver my dealer put on my Roo 19. Post #12 is the version he put on my Mini Lite 2503S.
