Beef up your RV bumper and boost your weight capacity to 400 lbs to safely haul your generator and other heavy cargo. Universal design mounts to most RV frames to reinforce your bumper and prevent metal fatigue that causes your bumper to detach.
Features:
- SafetyStruts reinforce your RV bumper so that you can carry generators and other heavy cargo
- Increases weight capacity to 400 lbs
- Helps prevent bumper detachment from your RV's frame
- Brackets mount to welded or bolted I-beam, S-beam, and single channel frames 6" or taller, and tube frames 4" or taller
- Included standoff spacers are required for welded or bolted I-beam frames shorter than 6" or any size double channel frames
- Optional spacer bars can be removed to fit around larger bumpers up to 4-1/2" wide
- Gives you more space on your frame for proper mounting
- Power-coated, galvanized steel construction resists rust and corrosion
- Installation requires some drilling - drill bits and mounting hardware included
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Application: 4" to 4-1/2" RV bumpers
- Overall dimensions: 7-1/2" wide x 5" tall x 5/16" thick
- Weight capacity: 400 lbs when evenly distributed
- Quantity: 2 brackets
- Limited lifetime warranty
Note: Bumper weight capacities vary by manufacturer. Please be sure to verify the weight capacity of your bumper with the manufacturer prior to loading.
Universal Application
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.
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.
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.

Beef up your RV bumper and boost your weight capacity to 400 lbs to safely haul your generator and other heavy cargo. Universal design mounts to most RV frames to reinforce your bumper and prevent metal fatigue that causes your bumper to detach.by: Nick03/20/2024
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: Jeremiah03/23/2024
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: Richard 05/18/2024
after installing the brackets, I wasn't worrying the bumper and bikes wouldn't be with me when arriving at campground
by: James 02/17/2024
JUST what I needed. It helps the bumper supporting a generator and rack that we haul with our 5th wheel.
by: Jay 08/28/2023
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.

we have hauled 2 heavy ebikes on a bumper bike rack on travel trailer bumper

This product gives me piece of mind
It was kinda tough to drill through frame of rv but install was straight forward

Shipped fast...very good quality...very easy to install both items...pleased with purchase...will continue to deal with etrailer
by: Greg 05/14/2023
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

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: Charles08/16/2022
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.
by: Heather10/05/2022
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: Keith04/03/2023
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: Jeffrey03/17/2023
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: Dan08/08/2023
Being just only 1 yr old it has rusted an awful lot already. The paint should have been done better. Maybe better QC
by: Roger09/13/2022
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: David03/16/2023
I have not had an opportunity to install the safety struts yet. It looks like it's doable with the parts provided.
by: Danny09/11/2023
Thank you so much for your help
by: Michael 09/17/2022
Still need to install. Like having extra support for 4” square bumper that cargo carrier attaches to.
by: Scott02/02/2022
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: Roger 06/12/2023
Good fit, easy to install product as de scribed
by: Hugh04/11/2022
Added the extra support we needed to our 5th wheel bumper to be able to haul our e-bikes.
by: Justin 12/16/2021
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!

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Forest River Cherokee 284DBHThe 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...
view full answer... - Recommended RV Bumper Safety Struts For A Trailer With An I-Beam Frame If the height of the I-beams is less than 6" as you say then you would have to have to swap out the regular safety struts for the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO34VR, which include spacers to place the brackets far enough out to clear the flange lip. You would not want to trim the flange of your trailer frame beams. You can place the supports on the inside or the outside of the frame beams as the difference between the two sides really isn't going to...

The Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts # MO34VR simply add additional strength to the rear bumper on your 2022 Keystone Travel Trailer. To determine if you will be able to then attach a Bike Rack # S94FR using a 2" Receiver # e38HR you will need to contact Keystone. They will be able to tell you how much weight your bumper and frame can support. Do note this bike rack weighs 60lbs and is capable of supporting 2 bikes up to 70lbs each. If Keystone says their bumper is not structurally strong enough...
view full answer... - Will Filling Your RV Bumper With Spray Foam Increase The Load CapacityNo, just adding in spray foam will not increase the capacity of the bumper in order to hold the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e83YR. The main figure for an RV bumper's capacity is how strong the connection is to the trailer frame, which is why we offer the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO34VR to help support the extra weight that the cargo carrier puts on the bumper. Filling the bumper with spray foam would actually just increase its overall weight,...
view full answer... - Hitch for Coachmen Freelander Motorhome on Ford Transit T350HD Cutaway ChassisI've spoken with some of the Tech folks with our hitch manufacturers who tell me that none of the available hitches for the Ford Transit will work with the T350HD cutaway chassis because of the changes made to the vehicle when the motorhome is added to the chassis. Your best bet would be to remove the existing hitch and install a weld-on hitch designed for a service body truck like # 41990-07. The bumper reinforcement struts you spoke of are meant for loads hung from the bumper, not a...
view full answer... - Will Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets Work for Generator SupportThe 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...

That said, it's typically around the 200 lb mark. If you need/want more we do have a way to strengthen the rear bumper using the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO34VR which increases the capacity to 400 lbs. In order to carry cargo and gear on the bumper, I highly recommend the etrailer...

view full answer... - Recommended Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts For A 2022 Grand Design 337 RLSFor a 2022 Grand Design 337 RLS we recommend the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO34VR. We do not know the exact size of the frame on your camper, but the universal kit will fit virtually any I-beam, S-beam or channel frame. So provided the bumper is 4" or 4-1/2" you should be good to go. While knowing exact dimensions of the frame is always nice, they do call it the universal kit for a reason.
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed on the Rear Bumper of a Heartland North Trail TrailerThe 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...

This will fit 4" - 4-1/2" bumpers which looks to be what is on the 2017 Avenger RV. As long as the combined weight of the electric scooters and carrier does not exceed 400lbs, then you will be fine using this product. I attached a demonstration video to help you out.

view full answer... - How to Determine If Swagman RV 2-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack is Right For Your ApplicationMany 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 TrailerIt 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...
view full answer... - Can Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Be Mounted On The Inside Of The Bumper Frame BeamYes, 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.

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...

view full answer... - Why is the Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier Not RV ApprovedThe 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...

These are are the most common sized RV bumpers, please verify this dimension against the bumper installed on your 2019 Coleman 2605RL. This is a simple, bolt-on installation with included hardware, mounting to the frame rails under the bumper providing excellent support so that you could carry heavier items like generators.

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...

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.
