The bumper can carry the sewer hose....that is about it. 
Joking aside, don't mount any aftermarket carrier on the bumper. If you want to carry some bikes, your best option is to get a hitch installed (bolted and welded) to the frame. Other option would be to put a hitch on the front of your truck.

Thank you for your input a 200lb generator would be a bad idea.

Appreciate the feedback.
200 pounds that far back from the wheels will relocate the center of gravity back some, taking weight off the pin/hitch. Might be too much weight that might adversely affect towing. Granted my experience was not with an RV coach but a large UHaul trailer but we put our Honda 7500 at the very back of a lightly loaded trailer (moving stuff for my brother). The trailer was so squirrely that we stopped very soon after starting our run up the interstate and relocated the generator forward of the axles. Much better handling and safer.
