Genrator mount on rear Bumper?

I have seen a number of 5th wheel trailers with a bracket mounted to the rear bumper/frame that hold a small generator. I am thinking of building such a mounting on a 29' Cougar. The generator weighs 112# fueled. I plan to use a 3/8" alum plate and u bolt (1/2") it to the bumper and the frame, then reinforce from under the bumper to the end of the bracket with 3/4 thin wall.

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I now have the generator mounted in the truck bed.

Thanks
