RE:? I have a rack that goes in the trailer hitch, that has a platform and a bike rack. I had my frame extensions reinforced.
I have a Wen 2350watt generator
This, I think, is probably the easiest solution to implement. As I recall, getting a tow hitch receiver welded to the frame rails was a few hundred dollars.
Harbor Freight sells hitch cargo carriers for relatively cheap. The wiring is a few tens of dollars in parts and minimal labor.
No alternator modifications (or replacement of the secondary air pump with another alternator, as described elsewhere here, which is technically
a violation of emissions laws and will cause a smog test failure in any state that does visual inspection). No need for ridiculously thick (and expensive
at $10 per linear foot) wiring. No need to engineer connections between the thick wires and components designed to accommodate much smaller
wire sizes. Plus you have a portable generator which can be used in other situations where electric power is required (make sure you keep it
secure, generator theft is a common problem in camping situations).
