We have a 2018 Starcraft 18QB Extreme Edition. I added a rear hitch mount AND bumper reinforcements (very important) to support it after seeing the same on another trailer. We have used a Bike rack with 4 bicycles as well as a heavy steel dirt bike rack and a Honda CR125 mounted on that. It does add some weight to the butt, lowers the tongue weight, and increases the overall vehicle weight so be aware of that. I added a stock pic of the bumper reinforcements I got from Amazon.

The rear bumper is pretty thin ..... I installed a frame mount receiver for my rear carrier. I see people with bumper mount receivers and carriers, I'm just not that brave.

I was entertaining putting one on mine, I would have to offset the spare tire carrier. If you watch the weights of the carrier and your unit you should be fine.
