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 brushed-finished 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 the Mount-n-Lock Heavy Hauler 92 inch long, four inch wide aluminum RV replacement bumper with the brush finish. Has a 500 pound weight capacity. Now this bumper kit will let you add a bumper or replace your stock RV bumper for extra durability and a higher weight rating. This is a heavy duty aluminum bumper so it gives you a higher weight rating so that you can safely haul your bikes or your generator to the campsite. It is also great for supporting cargo carriers and other bumper mounted accessories.
One of those accessories we carry is a two-inch hitch receiver that'll clamp around this bumper to give you a two-inch hitch receiver on the bumper. That part we do sell separately on our website. It's part number MNT47FR. And just to give you an idea what that part looks like I'm gonna pop up an insert there and you can see there's the accessory with the two-inch hitch receiver opening. Just clamps around the bumper.
Now this does use 10 heavy duty brackets five on this side, five on this side. They're sandwiched together and they attach to the vehicle's frame right here and they will help reinforce the bumper to prevent heavy loads from damaging it. So it's less likely to lead to bumper detachment than a stock bumper with the same weight. The bumper itself is a hollow compartment, and if you notice on the ends, I zoomed in here to show you this end. And on that end, it's the same.
It has vented end plates that'll store your wet smelly sewer hoses and fittings. Basically, if you just lift, slide up the plate turn it to the side, just like that, then you can put in your sewer hose, your sewer fittings, even if they're wet, you can just put 'em in there because then when you slide the plate down to keep it in place, you'll have the vent holes here that'll circulate air, fresh air, prevent moisture and mold build up from having those sewer hoses and accessories in there. Now this is a rustproof, lightweight aluminum construction, has a nice brushed finish to it. Now the brush finish will be shiny. It does hide scratches, but it will hold onto dirt since it is a rough surface.
You can also get this bumper in a raw mill finish that can be painted to the color you want, or a glossy black powder coat mirror-like finish. It is a bolt-on installation to your RV's frame. Comes with the included hardware right here. Nice set of instructions that will describe how it installs. Now there is some drilling required. Also, a couple notes on installation. If your RV frame is shorter than your RV's body, you will need extension plates that are sold separately, part number MO24VR. And also, if your RV's body extends to the bottom of the frame, you will need drop plates, part number MO84VR. And again, both those items are sold separate on our website. This part is made in the USA. Few specs, the application, it'll fit I-beam, S-beam, tube, and channel frames. Now if the frames are flanged, it must be at least four inches tall and three inches long. If the frame is non flanged, must be at least three inches tall by three inches long. Dimensions on this bumper. The overall length from that end all the way to that end is 92 inches long, four inches wide, four inches tall. Maximum capacity again is 500 pounds when the weight is evenly distributed. And the weight on this bumper is 22 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Mount-n-Lock Heavy Hauler, 92 inch long, four inch wide aluminum RV replacement bumper with the brush 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.
