Assuming you have a hitch on the rear that is adequate for the load. using a rear rack is not a problem when turning. Obviously it does increase the length of your RV when parking or on a ferry.
The one disadvantage of running the generator on a rear rack is that its vibration and noise (to some extent) are passed on to the RV. Putting the genny on the ground or the back of the truck eliminates the vibration problem.

It is not difficult to do if you are somewhat handy. You will have to drill a hole in the RV and run some wire. A number of members have done this and there are Posts on their efforts. Here is one example. Just do a Search on something like "front 50 amp plug" (or variants)
