That bumper is thin steel metal. Do not mount anything to it. Some have lost the spare tire as it was to much. That area is the worst place for bouncing. After spending awhile on freeways look at the bumper of others RVs as you pass them and see how and what is attached to it. Than notice some have a lot of bounce that ends up breaking welds or bends metal. To do what you want can be done as some on here have. They custom build a frame rail to the frame and mount or hang items on. Just afew years ago some where having they bicycles on the pull out bumper tray bend or break off.
