Yeah there is some clever work in it, just not hanging off the tow hitch.  As Rumpig said be better on the tray.

possibly...but if someone likes the concept and can afford it, it’s not like it effects your bank account any  ;)

Good luck with insurance. Using a towbar potentially beyond its operational limits and depending on what you put in the dog box potentially placing the chassis under torsion.

FWIW I could never see it being ADR approved to be used here.
USA where you can drive any bootyfabbed 4ft lifted rusty hunk of Shit on 54inch tyres with a Caravan and 5 trailers cable tied together - Yes.

Definitely an American thing, when you do a search for 'Hitch Cargo Carrier' and the list they come up with, all just hanging off the 2" square tow hitch.

https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Hitch_Cargo_Carrier.aspx.

Locally I have seen this sort of set up on the back of a vehicle in the handicap parking.  Bit later saw them drive the mobile scooter up the ramps and secure it in place.
