Conventional tray
The load sits farther behind.
A rearward tray increases the lever arm—the distance at which the generator's weight acts on the bumper.
Our story
Born on the road.
A cross-country RV trip made the problem impossible to ignore: portable power is essential, but carrying a generator safely and efficiently should not cost valuable storage space—or place it farther behind the trailer than necessary.

The need discovered
A better answer than another bumper tray.
On that trip, the available choices kept coming back to the same basic idea: a one-size-fits-all tray attached behind the RV bumper. The tray held the full generator several inches behind the bumper, increasing the distance between the load and the bumper.
GenCaddy began with a different question: what if the carrier could fit the generator—and bring part of its load closer to, and over, the bumper itself?
The GenCaddy approach
Part of the load rests over the bumper.
Bringing the generator closer to the bumper shortens that leverage and reduces bending force compared with carrying the same load farther rearward.
Closer to the bumper
The carrier geometry lets part of the generator's load rest over the bumper instead of placing the entire load behind it.
Protection at the rear
Upright steel members stand behind the generator, adding a physical barrier against incidental rear contact.
Made to adjust
Twin telescoping arms adjust from 18 to 28 inches in 2-inch increments, fitting the carrier to the generator rather than forcing every generator onto one tray.
Load behavior varies by generator, installation, road conditions, and RV bumper construction. Always verify the bumper manufacturer's load rating and all required clearances before installation.

From forming and joining the steel to applying the durable finish and checking the final hardware, GenCaddy is produced with close attention to fit, strength, and repeatability.
Fabricated steel components are suspended on the production line and prepared for a durable finish.
Carrier arms move through the controlled coating process for even, repeatable coverage.
The powder-coated surface helps protect the steel through outdoor use and life on the road.
Finished components are ready for hardware, reflective markings, inspection, and kit assembly.
