After looking at the bumper on the back of the trailer, I’d be afraid to even hang a bike rack off of it…let along try to pull a trailer.
Has anyone else welded in some square tubing supports to the main frame in order to make their travel trailer capable of towing a small trailer?
Any info would be great!

Yes, its a bad idea for so many reasons. The 8x10 trailer behind the travel trailer itself is a bad idea. The addition of heavy ATVs stands a good chance of pulling the rear out of the 19 foot trailer designed to be towed not to tow. If you decide to try this, please make sure you post a video of the first attempt to climb a steep grade. (or for the matter descend a steep grade). With no brakes on the heavy ATV trailer (unless you have figured a way to brake it), You are apt to see the ATV trailer pass you towing the travel trailer backwards.
My personal opinion is that this fits in the "
