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 glossy black aluminum bumper is sleeker and 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.

Always fast and easy.
Vast improvement over the stock bumper that was on there
Heavy duty quality metal. Came well packaged. Great instructions with photos. Clever engineering.
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
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.
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!
Perfect fit on my Lance 1685!
It was easy to install with the adapter. Looks great
Product arrived quickly, and was packaged extremely well! Installed and SOLID!
Both products failed with a 4-bike rack rated for RV use the first time I used it.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. Do you know the make and model of the bike rack you used?

Brackets need to curve up bumper scrapes when pulling into raised driveways etc.
