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 heavy-duty 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-Haul'r 92 inch long aluminum RV replacement bumper with the glossy black finish. It has a 600 pound weight capacity. Now this complete bumper kit will let you add a bumper or replace your stock Harvey bumper for extra durability and a higher weight rating. This is a nice heavy duty aluminum bumper. Gives you a higher weight rating so that you can safely haul your bikes or generators to the campsite.
This does have a 600 pound maximum capacity when it's evenly distributed. This is also great for supporting cargo carriers and other bumper mounted accessories. Now it is held in place by these brackets right here. They include 10 heavy duty brackets. There's five on each side, and they're designed to clamp around the bumper and reinforce the bumper to prevent heavy loads from damaging it.
Now we've installed them here just to show what it looks like when you install it. We're gonna zoom in here. You can see the brackets up close. They'll bolt to your frame right here and then they clamp around the bumper itself. Now if you do want to add a two-inch hitch to this bumper you need the part number MNT37FR and that's designed to clamp around the bumper also and supply you with a two-inch hitch.
Gonna pop up an insert, you can see what that part would look like. And again, we sell that part separately on our website. It's usually listed on this product page as a related product. Now the other neat feature on this is this bumper is hollow. This hollow compartment has the vented end plates on both ends.
It'll store your wet smelly sewer hoses and fittings. And because it has the holes or the vents here, it'll circulate fresh air to prevent moisture and mold buildup. But basically all you have to do is lift the plate up, push it out of the way like that and then you can put your hose in there, your fittings, everything you need and then just slide the plate back down to keep them into place just like that. Now this is a nice rustproof, lightweight aluminum construction. You can see this one has a nice glossy black finish to it. The glossy black powder coat finish has a mirror like finish, protects against scratches. Now this bumper can also be bought in a brushed finish and that brush finish will be shiny and it hides the scratches but it will hold dirt because it is a rough surface. And they also have this in just a plain raw mill finish that will show scratches and discolorations. Now this is a bolt-on installation as we mentioned. It'll bolt onto your RV's frame. Comes with the included hardware for that. Some drilling is required. Also, if the RV frame is shorter than your RV's body you will need extension plates, which we sell separately, part number MO24VR. And also if your RV's body will extend to the bottom of the frame, you'll need drop plates, which are part number MO84VR. Now this part is made in the USA. Specs again, the application this will work on I beam, S beam, tube and channel frames. Now if it is a flanged frame it must be at least four inches tall by three inches long. And if it's a non-flanged frame, it must be at least three inches tall by three inches long. Dimensions on this bumper right here, the overall length from that end all the way to that end is 92 inches. This is a square bumper, so it will be five and 5/16 inches wide by five and 5/16 inches tall. And the total weight on this bumper is about 40 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this Mount-n-Lock Heavy-Haul'r 92 inch long aluminum RV replacement bumper with the glossy black finish.

This heavy-duty, 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.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
Always fast and easy.
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.
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.
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.
It was easy to install with the adapter. Looks great
Product arrived quickly, and was packaged extremely well! Installed and SOLID!
I received the new bumper right on time.
Fast shipping and great packaging.
