I have replaced a few RV trailer and motorhome rear bumpers with 4x4x3/16 and 4x4x1/4 square steel tube. Welded to them to the frame ends, sometimes with extra gussets added if needed.

Damn, a 3/8" steel wall Rock Crawler bumper is what I had made up for my kids Jeep Cherokee. It musta been one heavy mutha.

Ya, it was one of those WTF moments when I drug it out of the truck once I got it home. Plus, it's so thick that my sewer hose wouldnt fit anymore.

I ended up just having my welder buddy box it in and made another place to store the slinky.

Try this link if you want an original type rear bumper at a reasonable price.

Url camper 4x4x96 rear bumper $52.00

It'a 16ga. square tube that your stink slinky will fit inside of, like the one it came with.

Sorry if this post seems long, I lacked the time to make it shorter.

Good find. That's actually 14 gauge, which is a little thicker than 16 gauge, 1/16" versus about 3/32".

I did the google search and found nothing. Anyone have a link for one?

You didn't say if it's a square "slinky storage" bumper - or
just a flat bumper (like on a Class C).

Anyway - use the search feature (or Google) to find - RV Salvage yards.
There's a listing out there by state.

Should be lots of 'em avail - way cheaper than via a dealer.
