Has anyone installed one of these?
Do you think this would be ok on a 16 sport? Possibly for a honda eu2000 sometimes but mostly to strap a 20 gallon lav tote. How much tounge weight is too much?

There is a recent bike rack thread you might want to look for. I believe the bike version of this system is used quite often. Not sure about a Honda 2000 being mounted so high above the center of gravity, in addition to the tongue weight issues.
Will the rear verticals still let the front rock/sun visor and window be opened?
Good luck.

In a panic-stop that thing will likely end up coming thru the back window of the TV.

Empty Lav tot maybe yes if you strap the rack to the front of the trailer at the receiver level.
Note how this rack is strapped to the window sill, a very strong frame member.
As for the generator NO WAY.

From experience, having bikes in the back was a bad idea. I created a thread called "Out of Control Sway". I had a four bike rack mount and four bikes on it. Nearly ate it. But with sound advice from this forum, I have decided to just use two kids bike. The two adult bikes will go inside the trailer.

You won't be able to open front window with it installed.

I had the bike version of the subject rack. I returned it to Amazon after discovering that it was not high enough to open the propane cover to turn on/off or to check the regulator position. Did some research and decided to give the Arvika Airstream rack a try. Perfect fit with plenty of room to access gas bottles. It also has a cargo platform available.

Looks like they have had a big price increase since I bought mine even with the favorable exchange rate.

The bracket and 2 bike carrier is $279 CDN each which is $208 USD x 2 is $416 USD for the Arvika. Much cheaper than when I purchased in 2013. I ordered directly from Arvika back then.

This would be a deal-breaker for us FWIW.

I can open my front window about 2 inches with the Arvika rack mounted. Without the rack it only opens about 4 inches so no big deal as far as I am concerned. I rarely open the front window anyway.
