Not sure this is the right forum but here goes...
I was researching bumper load capacity to see if I could add an external waste tank holder that clamps on the bumper. I read in owner's manual that "The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to carry cargo." Well that confused me because I got the tank holder idea because my spare tire holder is clamped to the bumper using Square U-Bolts which is the same method the tank holder would use. The fact that the spare tire is mounted there means that either the bumper does actually have some cargo carrying capacity or the spare shouldn't have been placed there and I need to move the spare tire.
I'm wonder if anyone knows which is right. Does the bumper have some limited cargo carrying capacity and, if so, what is it? or should the spare have been placed elsewhere to avoid future bumper issues?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

. But thanks because now obviously, I'll look much closer at how to mount this thing safely. Always a good thing to have the proper info necessary to make a safe decision. Thanks again.
