Bumpers
I agree you don’t want to carry a lot of weight on the bumper. There is a lot of bounce when you add carriers. There are some bolt on products that will help support extra weight. However, what I did was to add a RV trailer hitch between the frames. The receiver is now hanging right under the bumper. We carry two heavy electric bikes and there is very little shake on the bike rack. There are also different types of trailer hitches to choose from. Some you can drill and mount to the beam others you have to weld.. They are all adjustable, but you need to find the one that works with the campers support frame, like hollow beam or I- beam. You just have to do a little research. Also, check with the dealer or manufacturer to make sure you don’t void your warranty.
Hope this helps,
Jerry
