Question:
I have a Rockwood 1905 it’s a 2018. I am wanting to put a 100lb generator on my back bumper. I was thinking that the 400lb geny-go with the standard mount-n- lock would work? Any help from you would be wonderful.

The Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO34VR are designed to fit 4" x 4" or 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square RV bumper. If this is what you have then it will work well for you. It provides a 400 lb weight capacity. In many cases, the RV manufacturer limits the weight capacity of the rear bumper too severely unless the side brackets are welded. These reinforcement brackets are a great way to increase that capacity without the need for welding.
If you don't already have a way to secure the generator, I recommend a bumper hitch mount like the Mount-n-Lock HiLoHitch part # MNT47FR (see video below) and then a carrier like the 16x21 TorkLift Lock and Load SideKick Cargo Tray for 2" Hitches part # TLA7901.
