Be very careful about the load distributionon the trailer.  Mounting on the 
rear might be an invitation to disaster.  Years ago (during the oil embargo) 
I mounted two "jerry" cans on the extended rear bumper.  10 gallons of gas 
plus cans and mounting probably weighed 80 lbs.  The stability of the a/s was 
noticeably impaired, to say the least.  After a serious whipsaw from a 
passing 18 wheeler, I took the gas cans off the rear.  Still sweat BB's 
thinking about it.
