Rear carrier loaded

Got the bikes, generators and Grill loaded, I think it will ride fine with the two out-riggers.
The bike-rack/carrier has about 8,000 miles on it, so It is 'Battle tested'

Ozz, how did you secure the generators? Can you provide pictures?

Thanks!

Appears to be well engineered, but I am curious as to how much weight you have cantilevered off the back. Including platform, hitch, gens, bikes everything?
How is the hitch supported and fastened to the frame? Sorry if you've already answered this; I know you are very thorough in planning the mods you make and you are obviously confident the frame of your trailer can handle the stress. Thanks!

I'm sure it will...didn't mean to imply otherwise.

I didn't take it that way, I just don't know how much the gens or bikes weigh, but would think around 300 for everything, I had pictures of the hitch I built up for this posted a few month's ago. I had it made for this use by Croft Trailer hitch here in K.C. They have done all my work for years. I had them add a 3rd axle to a big boat trailer I rebuilt.

Here it is:
