Default Cargo Carrier put in Bicycle Hitch on back of TM

Pictures worth thousand words. Be careful of the weight. Only carry light items here, power cords, carpet, few chairs, bulky items. John

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.
