First, how compatible do you feel this would be with a Trailmanor? Second, for you engineering types, would appreciate any suggestions on how to make a homemade design if you like this idea? I already travel with four bikes on the back of the trailer.

(IMO) the 100# isn't a big deal with a satisfactory WDH set up.
Compromising the integrity of the roof with drilling has most folks more than a little wary....I have pondered placing some cross bars and one or two cargo boxes or bike rack but the weight (even while empty) and raising the roof from the collapsed state would have some issues (thus the cargo box remains on the TV).
Since the TM roof has a flat hard deck (sans ledge), how might you secure down the rear wheels?
What would be your plans for storing the 4-6 front wheels/rubber/skewers?
Depending your tow vehicle one may mount a 2" receiver hitch on the front chassis of the TV, two or three bikes on the rear of the TM (with the 150# capacity TM 2" receiver) and two on the front of the TM tongue-with the modification outlined by
outdrgod is one spendy method.
