Looking for ideas and solutions to hang a small motorcycle (<200#) on the rear bumper/frame of a travel trailer.....

Lots of hitch carrier options but what needs to be done to attach on the rear of a 30' TT?

On edit......it seems there are some M/C racks that slide into a regular receiver hitch....
Question would be.........are those square tube bumpers on a TT of sufficient strength to support <200>#
Or weld or bolt a hitch to the TT underframe?....
 
It is possible and done frequently.  The hitch should be checked as some are there for looks and little more while some are securely attached.  A decent welder can check and add support as needed.  If the current receiver is simply bolted to the bumper, it will not carry much weight.

There are two recent threads to help seasoned citizens get small bikes onto and off those carriers - both solved successfully.
 
Putting the motorcycle, hitch etc in that position will certainly decrease the hitch weight, hopefully, not below the 10% required.

Adding weight to the back of the TT will reduce TT tongue weight on the front.  Just to clarify Stu's post.
