Universal Application

Universal Application-Standoff Spacers

The included standoff spacers give you the flexibility to mount your SafetyStruts to most RV frames, making it nearly universal. This heavy-duty extension hardware is required for welded or bolted I-beam frames less than 6" tall and any size double channel frames where flanges stick out past your mounting surface. They also combat bolted-frame designs where bolts may obstruct your mounting surface. The standoff spacers won't be necessary if you have a welded or bolted I-beam, S-beam, or single channel frame 6" or taller without flanges, or a tube frame 4" or taller.


SafetyStruts w-w-o Space bar

These all-steel brackets also have optional spacer bars that are in place to allow a nice, snug fit around your standard 4" RV bumper. They can be removed so that the brackets fit around larger bumpers between 4-5/16" and 4-1/2" wide, or if your bumper is bolted to the frame and the bolts interfere with the spacer bar.


Spacer bars Used-Unused

If your RV's frame has less than 3" of mounting space, the spacer bars are the perfect solution to create that extra space to properly mount your SafetyStruts. Simply remove the spacer bar, flip it around, re-locate it to the outer part of your bumper, and secure in place with the included nuts and bolts.

by:

Well made, the kit includes the proper drill bits you need. Not really sure how much these add to capacity and I managed to crush the bumper a bit with a bolt on hitch and a Thule 5 bike carrier. Live and Learn !!



by:

Put theses on because I have a bumper mounted hitch to haul a cargo carrier. I think they definitely will help out in the long run



by:

JUST what I needed. It helps the bumper supporting a generator and rack that we haul with our 5th wheel.



by:

Purchased Item #MO34VR support struts. The kit comes with everything you need to install no matter your frame configuration, including 2 drill bits. That product did work out nicely and is a HUGE peace of mind product, totally worth the work and the price. I have a 24' Jayco Jayflight SLX with a 4" square bumper. After drilling through the frame I can assure you you'll need the struts if you're utilizing the GennyGo tray to carry a generator. Yes the bumper joints are welded solid but the metal is not nearly as thick as it may appear. Thinking "this is gonna take all day", a few seconds after starting the drill on the frame, I was through the other side. Buy the struts if you have a comparable rig. I know now why they make this product.



by:

we have hauled 2 heavy ebikes on a bumper bike rack on travel trailer bumper
FL to CO
This product gives me piece of mind

It was kinda tough to drill through frame of rv but install was straight forward



by:

Shipped fast...very good quality...very easy to install both items...pleased with purchase...will continue to deal with etrailer



by:

Will see how these work long term. A bit of work drilling into the frame but I think they will hold the tray and generator without stress



by:

Don't waste your time or money on this. Now my bumper welds are cracked. If you want to carry more than spare tire on rear of camper bumper install a hitch on frame.

This is not a common thing to happen, can you elaborate on the size of the bumper and age of the unit?



by:

Purchased my second bumper support bracket and I’m very pleased with my choice. I appreciate the product and fast delivery from E Trailer



by:

I like the product, however the kit arrived with 2 missing locking nuts that were needed to tighten the bracket to the bumper.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I have already sent your information to our customer service team and they will be reaching out to you soon.



by:

Just opened the bumper support bracket. Seems to be heavy duty and looks like it’s going to do what I’m looking for. Thank you E Trailer for outstanding product.



by:

Quality and theory of the product is great but on my application it didn't work very good. I think for most applications it probably would work as intended.



by:

Being just only 1 yr old it has rusted an awful lot already. The paint should have been done better. Maybe better QC



by:

I installed these because I was concerned about the stress that would placed on the trailer bumper from the spare tire rack and new Kayak verti rack. Installation was easy and since we have driven over 3000 miles across interstate 40 (alot of bad highway) and the bumper showed no signs of stress cracking at the welds. It was a simple addition that required no welding and the bolts that hold the bracket never loosened. I highly recommend this product, it gives you peace of mind and prevents your gear from snapping off down the road.



by:

I have not had an opportunity to install the safety struts yet. It looks like it's doable with the parts provided.



by:

Thank you so much for your help



by:

Still need to install. Like having extra support for 4” square bumper that cargo carrier attaches to.



by:

Not the easiest to install but it just had to do with the design of my Sunseeker, in most cases it looks a lot easier. Can’t really knock it for that, it’s job was to reinforce bumper. I put a rack with two 40 lb propane tanks on mine so I needed something I knew would not fail, lest I find myself in prison for being negligent and blood on my hands . Worked like a charm, too bad I didn’t think of earlier as it allowed me to carry ample propane for full timing in colder climates. Rock solid is the important part, they work exactly as described.



by:

Good fit, easy to install product as de scribed



by:

Easy install and great design!



by:

Added the extra support we needed to our 5th wheel bumper to be able to haul our e-bikes.



by:

Etrailer is an awesome business. They get right on your order and keep you updated. The brackets seem to be of good quality and well packed. They literally come with everything, even drill bits. I would recommend!



by:

You're my go to fory rv and trailer needs thanks.



by:

Parts were in stockband cheaper than on Amazon.

etrailer.com is awesome. Always carry quality products with fast processing and delivery.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed on the Rear Bumper of a Heartland North Trail Trailer
    The brackets which hold the rear bumper to the trailer frame are not always up to the task of hauling extra gear. In order to confirm we must recommend reaching out to the trailer manufacturer to see if and how much you can carry. If it's not rated or not high enough for what you need, we offer support brackets which will strength the connection between the bumper and frame. The Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO34VR is what I recommend. This would...

  • Can Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Be Mounted On The Inside Of The Bumper Frame Beam
    Yes, both the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets - 4" to 4-1/2" # MO22FR and Universal # MO34VR can be mounted on either the inside of outside of the frame beams. It's typically easier to mount to the outside since you wouldn't have to get under the trailer, but if you're wanting more of a hidden look it's totally acceptable to mount it on the inside.

  • Best Way to Transport 70 lb E-Bike with Travel Trailer
    The Feedback Sports RAKK XL Bike Floor Stand - Black # 301-17345 doesn't have a weight capacity so it will hold an electric E-Bike up inside a travel trailer. This is designed for a standard storage situation like in a garage where the floor is non-moving though so if you're planning on using this during transit I don't recommend doing so as the unit will bounce around. For your application I recommend installing a hitch on your travel trailer (if it doesn't have one) and using a hitch...

    As long as your 2020 Sonic by Venture has a 4" bumper then this set up should work for you because the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO34VR will fit bumpers 4" to 4-1/2" and the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 will fit 4" bumpers. The SafetyStruts will increase your bumper weight capacity to 400 lbs. and the Curt RV Bumper 2" hitch receiver can handle up to 350 lbs. in tongue weight which is what the bike rack and bikes would be impacting....

  • Why is the Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier Not RV Approved
    The ride on the back of a trailer is very rough due to the extended distance from the axle so a lot of hitch mounted accessories like the Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier part # FHG99ZR are not rated for this. Instead, I recommend using the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers part # MNT34FR which attaches directly to the rear bumper and you can combine multiple sets for more room. I do recommend beefing up the rear bumper with the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts...

  • Does the etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers Come with Support Brackets
    Yes. The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # e99049 comes with the support brackets similar to the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets - 4" to 4-1/2" # MO34VR. They're not branded from Mount-N-Lock, but they're essentially the same bracket and design.

  • How to Determine If Swagman RV 2-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack is Right For Your Application
    Many RV bumper manufacturers construct their product with a plastic cap or a hinged door instead of endcap, allowing bumper to be used for storage; apparently you have this type. Open that end piece to examine if the seam has spot welds (short welds at a number of separate points) or one continuous weld running the full length of the bumper; take note of the thickness of the metal while doing so. Some bumpers, frequently identified as heavy duty, will not have a weld seam at all but are...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Jayco Travel Trailer To Triple Tow Small Utility Trailer
    It sounds like you have the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 installed on your Jayco trailer. If that is the case you can tow with it, but you are correct that the bumper on your trailer is really the weak point. One option is to use the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets - 4" to 4-1/2" # MO34VR to reinforce your bumper for additional strength. The option I recommend is going with a frame mounted trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Adjustable...

  • Will Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets Work for Generator Support
    The Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO34VR are designed to fit 4" x 4" or 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square RV bumper. If this is what you have then it will work well for you. It provides a 400 lb weight capacity. In many cases, the RV manufacturer limits the weight capacity of the rear bumper too severely unless the side brackets are welded. These reinforcement brackets are a great way to increase that capacity without the need for welding. If you don't already...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Forest River Cherokee 284DBH
    The Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, # E-100 is designed to fit standard 4" x 4" rear bumpers providing ability to tow a trailer up to 3,500 lbs. However, just because this component is rated for that does not mean the bumper on your RV is; you will need to confirm with manufacturer for spec on your Forest River Cherokee 284DBH. In addition, you will need to check legality of towing a bumper pull trailer behind a bumper pull trailer. Pulling a trailer behind a 5th wheel is frequently...

  • Can The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack Be Mounted To A Trailer's Bumper
    The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR could be mounted to the rear bumper of your trailer using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100. The only issue would be the capacity of the bumper and whether it would be able to handle the weight. Typically RV bumpers have a very low capacity and are more so just for looks so you'd want to verify with your trailer's manufacturer what the capacity is. You can reinforce your bumper by installing the Mount-n-Lock...

  • Water Tanks in the Way of Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver 13703
    The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 isn't a fit for every trailer, it will work on some and others it won't due to items installed on the trailer such as stabilizer jacks, water tanks etc. Please note, this can differ from trailer to trailer so we always recommend looking at the undercarriage prior to purchase to ensure compatibility. That said, if the this trailer hitch won't work there are thankfully many of other options such as the Curt RV Bumper Hitch part # C19101...

  • Comparing Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts MO34VR and MO22FR
    I would be happy to help! The only difference between the Mount-n-Lock Safety Struts # MO34VR and # MO22FR you were looking at is the hardware used to attach them. The # MO34VR uses nuts and bolts where the # MO22FR uses self tapping screws. Since both have the same 400lb load rating I recommend going with the # MO22FR as it will be the easiest to install. This will allow you to use the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver for 4" x 4" Bumpers - 3,500 lbs # UF35-946402 you were...

  • Recommended Frame Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver For Jayco Eagle 320RLDS
    I have another option that may work for you, but Unfortunately the brackets on the # 13703 cannot be flipped which my contact at Curt confirmed. The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 can be bolted or welded to the bottom of your I-Beam frame, but is only fits frames up to 66" wide where the # 13703 fits frames up to 72" wide. If your frame is not wider than 66" then this would be your best bet, and has a 350lb tongue weight rating though you will...

    The Mount-n-Lock ShakeStopper for 6" RV Bumpers - 2" Hitch Receiver - 400 lbs # MO64VR will work work like a standard 2 inch hitch receiver when it comes to accessories. It has a 400 pound limit but that will mostly likely exceed your bumpers weight capacity and you will need to contact the manufacturer and give them your VIN to confirm the actual weight capacity of your bumper.

  • Does The Mount N Lock Bumper Hitch Receiver Lock On To Your Bumper
    I talked to one of our install team members about the Mount-n-Lock ShakeStopper for 6" RV Bumpers - 2" Hitch Receiver - 400 lbs # MO64VR. The easiest option would be to replace the Coupling Bolts (shown below, threaded into Coupling Nut) with tamper-resistant bolts (further below). If the coupling bolts can’t be removed, the hitch can’t be removed. You will want a Grade 5 equivalent (120,000 psi tensile strength). Bumper weight capacities vary by manufacturer and by model.

  • How Much Can the Rear Bumper Hold On A Vintage RV Camper
    I would not be able to speculate on the rear bumper capacity for any one particular trailer especially one this old but if you feel you will be exceeding this with the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 you can add supports, the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO34VR. The other options would be a frame mount trailer hitch, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703.
