Expert Reply:

The weight of the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-255 is 65 lbs. You will be putting a 50 lb generator on it plus the weight of firewood. You will need to add all of these weights together and add that as additional tongue weight for your setup. Your WD system will need to have a tongue weight rating that will accommodate the additional tongue weight.

I attached a help article on weight distribution and determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.
