I am no kind of a expert on anything,But I would guess that a "heavy" load like the one observed at the service center would cause stess problems.Sort of like the improperly mounted bike on the ladder rack thing.All kind of up and down stress could cause a lot of damage. We are talking about 50 lbs of bike and a hitch on the rear and many other RV manufactures manage to find a frame that can handle a bike rack mounted on the rear.Perhaps Montana and their engineering and design staff are not up to the task??? or.oopps..could it be a "cost' thing..
