Thanks to Scooter's bumper pic the Alegria now has a bumper.

Thanks MJ, I'm also putting AL trim around the camper edges. That should make it look a little better.

Nice job on the bumper. It gives the back of the trailer a more finished look and some protection too.

SmokeyBob,

That bumper look cool. It made me think about putting one on the back of the Todah Tear.

Hi Todah
Would a bumper interfere with the lower portion of your hatch? I noticed in the Hall of Fame that the majority of the TDs don't have a bumper. Figured a bumper wouldn't look good or it would interfere with the access to the insides of the hatch, like hitting the old shin bone. That hurts just thinking about it.

Now a few TDs do have a bumper and it looks great. I wonder if it's a problem with them? Anyway, if you do put a bumper on I would like to see a pic of it.

If I put a bumper on it, the bumper will have to swing down when I open the lower part of the hatch. My hatch is divided into two parts. ...but I am still considering it because the bumpers look good.
