Turn Hearse?
If you mean the Barker ...
The rubber bumpers are crutch tips.
To the OP, notice I kept the bumper hitch on the bumper so when in camp, I can move the bike rack from the front of the truck to the back of the camper. The bike rack no longer travels back there.

That is an excellent idea. I recently nabbed one of those hitches at a garage sale. At the time, didn't know what I'd use it for. But for $5 I couldn't say no. Now I have a use for it.
Thanks,

We like the convenience of hanging as much as we can off the back bumper of the camper. If I could put a bathtub back there i would lol each to his own!

I totally agree with your sentiment, believe me.
Just be aware of the risk to yourself and others who share the road.
When I first bought my camper, I spent a lot of time and money building a rack for my generator, extra fuel, and a container for our sewer hoses. I even had side braces that went to the frame on each side.
I drove it around the block just once, and threw it all away.

I guess you missed the part where I removed it and trashed it because I was not comfortable with my generator bouncing down the road when my bumper tore off.

Wow. I truly wish you the very best with that rig. I suggest next time you take the rig to get inspected that your DW follow you and watch what is going on back there when you are driving down the road.
Make sure she does not follow too close as you never know when it's gonna go.
I also have the Tri-Fuel mod on my Yamaha.

since you own a SOB, not sure your example is appropriate for owners of FR products.
I don't have any idea if a Keystone Cougar is an ultralight trailer or not.
or how strong their bumpers are.

I put these Yakima bedrock rails on my truck along with three bike racks. I don't use a cover so this works great to keep the bikes in view while traveling and keeps the bed free for totes, cooler and firewood.

I like to have my truck bed free to use for other things. We stack a lot of stuff in our truck as well as inside the camper. Only space left is out on back trailer bumper.
I don't know what and sob is but i have a forest river.
