4"square tube repair?

I got into a steel post with my stabilizer jack and 4" square tube bumper. I can replace the jack but the end of the 4" tube is beyond repair.I can cut about 4" off of it and be able to store my sewer hose but one side would then be shorter than the other. I was hoping there might be a piece that would slip over making a not so noticeable repair. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Any decent welding shop should be able to replace the bent section and make it unnoticeable. Or you could replace the entire bumper with a better quality, heavier duty tube.

Many RV's have an extruded aluminum (looks like chrome) bumper cover that is placed over the steel 4" square tube bumper. It 'dresses' the bumper up a little and does hide rust/damage.

They cost about $60 and one source is RV Plus Parts: http://www.rvplus.com/patrick-metals...rt-165725.html
