Question:

My camper has a 4x4 box tubing bumper on the back. Can these be mounted on this bumper? I really need some that are at least 4inch from ground to bottom of bumper so I dont wipe out my black sewer drain plumbing. If these wont work, can you give me a recommendation that will work?

You will want to avoid installing the Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs # UF48-979015 on your bumper as your bumper will not be able to resist the weight of your RV since it is not structural.

I recommend installing the Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Low-Profile RVs # UF48-979011 instead. These can be installed on either your RV's frame or a frame-mounted trailer hitch receiver. You will need to have the brackets welded on before bolting the skid wheels to them.
