This aluminum bumper gives you a higher weight rating so you can safely haul your bikes or generator to the campsite. You can store your smelly sewer hoses inside the bumper using the vented endcap to free up space in your compartment.

Planning on getting a brand new 4-bike rack and want to make sure your RV's bumper will be able to support the weight? Or perhaps you just need to replace the old, dented bumper that's currently on your rig? This durable, hefty bumper lets you upgrade the existing bumper on your RV so you can haul a cargo carrier, bike rack, or a spare tire carrier with confidence. And because the bumper is made out of aluminum, it won't rust in the rain or snow.
Ventilated Storage Compartment
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. When it's time to dump your back and gray tanks, slide the end plate up on either side of the bumper so you can easily grab your hoses. These end plates 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.
Bolt-On Installation
Once the old bumper has been removed, use the included hardware to directly mount this bumper onto your RV's frame. You may need to do some drilling. The bumper attaches with the included 10 brackets to provide additional reinforcement.
You may also need some Mount-n-Lock Addabumper plates. If your frame is shorter than your RV's body, some extension plates (MO24VR - sold separately) are required. And if your RV's body extends to the bottom of your frame, some drop plates (MO84VR - sold separately) are needed.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Mount-n-Lock Heavy Hauler, 92 inch long aluminum RV replacement bumper with the glossy black finish. Has a 600 pound weight capacity. Now this complete bumper kit will let you add a bumper or replace your stock RV bumper to give you extra durability and a higher weight rating. Now this heavy duty aluminum bumper gives you a higher hate weight rating so that you can safely haul your bikes or generator to a campsite. Does have a 600 pound maximum capacity when it's evenly distributed.
It is also great for supporting cargo carriers and other bumper-mounted accessories and it does install using these 10 heavy duty brackets. Basically, there's five on each side here and you can see we've pre-installed them just to show you what they would look like when you go to install it. I want to zoom in and show you these. These basically will clamp around the bumper and they reinforce the bumper to prevent heavy loads from damaging it. Right here is where you bolt it to your frame and then you can see this little clamp around the bumper.
This is less likely to lead to the bumper detachment than a stock bumper with the same weight. Now also, if you want to add a two inch hitch to this, you will need part number MO64VR, that's designed to clamp around this bumper and give you a two inch hitch. We do sell that separately and just wanna pop up an insert to show you what that hitch would look like. You can see how it clamps around the same bumper. And again, it's usually listed on this product page as a related product.
Another nice feature on this is this bumper is actually hollow inside. This hollow compartment right here, you can see it has vented end plates on both ends, so you can put your smelly sewer hoses and fittings in here. And because they're vented, these vents will circulate fresh air to help prevent moisture and mold buildup. And the way you install it, you slide open these side plates out of the way, put your hose in there, put your fittings in there, whatever gets in there and then just to hold them into place, slide your plate right back down in there. Now this is a rustproof lightweight aluminum construction.
You can see it has a nice glossy black finish to it and this glossy black powder coat finish has a mirror-like finish, protects against scratches. Now you can also get this bumper in a brushed finished, which will be shiny. It hides scratches, but it will hold dirt, since it will have a rough surface to it. And they also make this in just a plain raw-mill finish, that'll show scratches in discolorations. Now this is a bolt-on installation onto RV's frame. Comes with the included hardware right here. Now there is some drilling required to install this. Couple notes, if the RV frame is shorter than your RV's body, you will need the extension plates, which we sell separately, part number MO24VR. And if your RV's body extends to the bottom of the frame, you'll need the drop plates, part number MO84VR. Both of those items we do sell separately and they're listed on this product page. This part is made in the USA. Application, this will fit I-beam, S-beam, tube and channel frames. Now if it's flange frames, they must be at least four inches tall, three inches long. If it's a non-flange frame, they must be three inches tall by three inches long. Dimensions on the bumper itself, the length from one end to the other end is 92 inches. The width on it is gonna be six inches wide by six inches tall. And the weight on this bumper's about 42 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Mount-n-Lock Heavy Hauler, 92 inch long aluminum RV replacement bumper with the glossy black finish.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
