I do the same thing with a flat Everthere aluminum cargo carrier. I usually put two folding bikes on it. Altogether, it weighs about 110 pounds. Each bike is 38 pounds and carrier is 29 pounds.

When I put the bikes back there, I load my internal items as near to the hitch as possible and put some fresh water in the tank to help counter having a 100 pounds so far in the back. I didn't do the weight distribution right the first time and I did not like the way the trailer handled. I would not put any more weight back there.
