Will Filling Your RV Bumper With Spray Foam Increase The Load Capacity
Question:
If you fill your camper bumper w/spray foam would it be stronger?
asked by: Stan E
Expert Reply:
No, 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, lowering the capacity it could potentially hold.
