That location would also double as secure storage for the gen while at the site also. I understand your weight concern and if the trailer got squirelly then I just won't drive with it back there but I like the option of short cord even at the site.
With the A frame mounting location for the gen if I wanted to run the gen while driving I would need to be able to secure the cord somehow (30a plug is driver side rear) all the way up to the A frame location.

I believe the post from nevermind, was the concern that the WHOLE bumper, or the brackets attached to it, could fail; just not toss the generator off. Of course if you aren't traveling, then the loads on the bumper and brackets are MUCH less and it could hold the generator when stopped - of course the ground could hold the generator, then, too.
Another thing to check out is the output of the generator you are considering and what your air conditioner needs to run.
