Cargo hitch carrier

Thanks SD,
I guess the trick is finding one that is highway worthy and then maybe even adding support to prevent wobbling and losing the payload...

This thread looks like a good place to ask for advice.
My 400W solar let me down recently at Glacier NP due to all the trees, so it looks like a generator may be in our future. I'm thinking about 3k W so about 90-100 lbs.
It would be nice to be able to roll it up and down vs. lifting as I get older and already have back issues. The motorcycle carrier peaked my curiosity as I assume they tilt for loading and unloading?
Any ideas on something like this?

No reason to take the genny off the carrier. I have a 30A to 50A cable that I run from the genny to the 50A input on my rig.
No matter what I do the image comes in upside down, but you get the idea.

Nice Malco...now I have some questions as I was hoping not to remove it anyway.
1. How much does the gen vibrate thru the rig?
2. Bungy cords are sufficient to hold it going at hiway speeds on bumpy roads?
3. Do you have something to take up the slack of the receiver interface?
4. What size of gen is it?

1 No I don't feel any vibration in the rig. I only use the gen when I boon-dock for the night at a rest stop or Walmart, to charge the batteries or run the AC.
2 The Bungy cords only hold the cover in place. The cover has elastic on the bottom, but I don't trust it so I added the bungy cords. The gen is held by a ratchet strap and chained to the frame with a heavy duty bicycle chain.
3 Yes it is like a muffler clamp, but it is a heavy piece of steel.
4 It's a Champion 3500W with a remote start.

Thanks, I also like the idea of a remote start.
