Wish your stock RV bumper could support more gear? We do too! That's why we love that this aluminum bumper increases your weight rating so you can throw a few extra bags onto the back of your RV for your long weekend trip to the campground.

Worried that your existing steel RV bumper won't be able to support the weight of an extra, larger cooler? Well, you're in luck! This paintable aluminum bumper is stronger than your stock bumper, and it boasts a higher weight rating so you can haul a couple of heavier bags to the campsite. 10 Standard-duty brackets reinforce the bumper, giving you peace of mind that your gear won't detach from your RV on the highway.
Stores Your Sewer Hoses and Fittings
If you don't want to muck up the inside of your RV's cargo compartment, you can use the ventilated storage area inside the bumper to hide your smelly sewer hoses and fittings. The end plates on either side have small, built-in holes that help circulate fresh air to help prevent moisture and mold from building up on your wet hoses. And by keeping your sewer gear in the bumper, you'll free up space in your RV storage compartment for additional camping gear. When it's time to dump your black and gray tanks, slide the end plate up to easily grab your hoses.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Mount-n-Lock Heavy-Haul'r 92 inch long six inch wide aluminum RV replacement bumper with the bare mill finish. It has a 600 pound weight capacity. Now this bumper kit here will let you add a bumper or replace your stock RV bumper for extra durability and a higher weight rating. This is a nice heavy duty aluminum bumper. Gives you the higher weight rating so that you can safely haul your bikes or your generators to your campsite.
And it's also great for supporting cargo carriers and other bumper mounted accessories. Now if you did want to add a two inch hitch to this bumper, we do sell a part that allow you to clamp on a two-inch hitch receiver. That's part number MO64VR. We do sell that separately on our website and just to pop up an insert there with that two-inch hitch receiver add-on would look like, you can see it clamps around the bumper and gives you a two inch hitch receiver opening. And again, it is sold separately on our website and it's listed on this product page as a related product.
Now this also uses 10 heavy duty brackets, five brackets on each side, five over here, five on this side. They clamp together, they'll attach to your vehicle's frame right here and then they'll reinforce the bumper to prevent heavy loads from damaging it. So it's less likely to lead to bumper detachment compared to a stock bumper with the same weight. This is a hollow compartment, has vented end plates. You can see the end plate here that's vented, one on the other end's the same way.
And this will let you store your smelly sewer hoses or fittings inside your bumper. The vents on here will circulate fresh air to prevent moisture and mold buildup when you're storing those. And the way you install your sewer hoses, you just lift up on this vented plate. You can see that it'll slide out of the way and then you can put your hoses in there, put your fittings in there, even if they're wet. Once they go in there, drop this plate in to place and it'll hold it in place.
And again they're vented to let fresh air flow through there. Now this is a rustproof lightweight aluminum construction. This one has a bare mill finish to it. Now the bare mill finish can be painted to the color you want. This bumper also is available in a brushed finish. The brushed finish will be shiny. It will hide scratches but will hold dirt since it's a rough surface. And then they, excuse me, they also offer this in a glossy black powder coat mirror-like finish. It is a bolt-on installation. Bolts to your RV's frame. Comes with the included hardware right here, a nice set of instructions. Now there is some drilling required to install this. Also, a couple notes is if your RV frame is shorter than your RV's body, you will need extension plates that we sell separately, part number MO24VR. Also, if your RV's body will extend to the bottom of the frame you'll need the drop plates, which we sell separately, part number MO84VR. Now this part is made in the USA. Application, this bumper will fit I beam, S beam, tube and channel frames. Now if the frame on your vehicle happens to be a flanged frame, it must be at least four inches tall and three inches long for this to work. If it's a non-flanged frame, it must be three inches tall and three inches long. Dimensions on this, again, from that end, all the way to that end is 92 inches long. Six inches wide, six inches tall. Does have a maximum capacity of 600 pounds when it's evenly distributed. And the weight on this bumper is about 42 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this Mount-n-Lock Heavy-Haul'r 92 inch long six inch wide aluminum RV replacement bumper with the bare mill finish.

Wish your stock RV bumper could support more gear? We do too! That's why we love that this aluminum bumper increases your weight rating so you can throw a few extra bags onto the back of your RV for your long weekend trip to the campground.Love the product and the ability to safely handle more cargo such as our 4 bike carrier. My only qualm is if you have a Camco Rhino waste hose you will have to use your old end cover instead of the stock ends that come with the unit. The little screws that hold the metal pieces in place are in the way and the hose will not go in.
Product quality is very good and powder coating was well done. My issue is with the shipment packaging. Although there was an attempt to protect the product in transit it did in fact fail. I recommend the shipper place reinforced cardboard on all four corners from top to bottom and also add reinforced cardboard at each end of the bumper. The shrink wrap was an attempt but didn’t prevent the scratches and dents. After spending nearly $[XX] for the bumper I would say an additional $[XX] spent in proper packaging would eliminate any returns. See pictures.
Great product and sturdy design. Installation was not straight forward as the instructions suggest, but a lifetime of handy work allowed me to finish.
Satisfied & would by again. The original bumper on my 27-foot Freedom Express travel trailer failed when I mounted a lightweight bicycle rack on it. I replaced it with this Heavy-Haul'r bumper. This has worked well. No problem at all now carrying my bicycles. I also use it to carry a equipment rack with an auxiliary generator and gas can. I usually run the generator from the carry rack attached to the Heavy-Haul'r bumper. A bit slow installing with some frame drilling on my camper required but works great once installed.
This is an impressive bumper. We ordered this to be delivered to a RV park in FL after our original 4” bumper twisted & broke the welds on our trip down from the weight of our mountain bikes (~ 200 lb total).
We went with a 5.3” replacement to make it easier to insert our sewer hoses & adapters. My husband & neighbor put the new bumper on in 2 h; it did require drilling new holes in the frame but that was easy enough & well worth it. This bumper is exceptionally strong, has a great finish and has a much better solution for closing the ends than your typical end caps. We also bought the 2” Shake-Stopper Hitch Receiver and it mounted in about 20 min. It is super strong and as advertised - it makes a very solid connection with the bumper. Highly recommend both
Heavy duty quality metal. Came well packaged. Great instructions with photos. Clever engineering.
The products I bought came a little earlier than originally stated, and that was great. Unpacking the products was a big pain in the a. However, every thing was in good shape. My main complaint that gives the 4 stars is I ordered a 4 inch bumper to replace my old 4 inch bumper, but with the slide gates on the ends (which looked like a great idea) my 4 inch dump hose won't slide in past the slide gates. Customer service says I'd have to have a 3 inch hose or buy a bigger bumper. That was not an issue I saw while shopping for the bumper. In fact, the little video showed tipping the slide gate to the side and easily sliding the hose inside. Nope! It never said anything about a smaller hose. I'm going to have to take off the screw in the slide gate on one end of the bumper and remove the gate every time I want my hose. I hope it won't bounce out while I am traveling. If it does I'll go back to a rubber cap, rats!
Both products failed with a 4-bike rack rated for RV use the first time I used it.
Vast improvement over the stock bumper that was on there
Perfect fit on my Lance 1685!
It was easy to install with the adapter. Looks great
Always fast and easy.
Product arrived quickly, and was packaged extremely well! Installed and SOLID!
I received the new bumper right on time.
Fast shipping and great packaging.
