You can see the details of the part that slips over bumper. I leave the ropes attached (just knots on the outer end) and after I slip those over the bumper I push on the end piece - done. The only thing you can't really see from the pics is I ran a screw in at the angled part that I cut.

We are at the beach right now and it is handling towels, etc for 5 people.

Nice job. I think a T wye fitting would have been the correct angle and not needed a screw. If you have any problems in that area you might want to consider it. Looks great, Hank

Slider looks great, but I would be a bit concerned as to the strength of the bumper.
I assume you have seen the issue on the bumper failure from attaching a bike rack to it in addition to the spare tire!

Well it looks like you have at least three pairs of jeans hanging on that rack, I am assuming bumper failure is coming soon!!

LOL!!

Nice job. I've been thinking about putting one together.

Okay rhagfo, I'll tell my wife she's got to lose some weight so her jeans don't break my camper :)

Of course I don't worry about the bumper but I do try to keep the heavier items (like really wet towels) on the lower strings of the rack to lessen the stress on the PVC.

Whoo Slider never said anything about your wife's weight, heck I will not even discuss that with my DW!

Just that even three pairs of size zero jeans weigh about as much as a good bike.
I can get in the dog house with my own DW, don't need to be getting it from yours also. LOL!

Actually, those are my son's blue jean shorts but that was too fun. Fortunately my wife likes camping but not reading camper forums.

Great idea any ideas on a bike rack to hold three bikes without buying one, I can weld so I was thinking something out of stainless steel tubing u bolts around the bumper come up about three feet or so and out just enough to hold three bikes

you will need to attach a bike rack to the frame to many broken thin bumpers out there already. do a forum search on bike racks and or rear bumpers.
