Upgrading the bumper should be possible. You might also want to search the forum for the "fence post mod," using a square vinyl fence post attached under the RV to store the hose.
I doubt you could easily set up a hitch receiver for a cargo carrier. Even if you could, I'm not sure you'd really want to as loading much firewood would alter the balance of the trailer a good bit, reducing the tongue weight and increasing the overall trailer weight. Also, many states and areas forbid the transport or import of untreated firewood due to very real concerns about invasive pests (the Emerald Ash Borer in particular).
I pick up wood near the campgrounds at roadside sellers cheaper than camp ground may just do the fence post and leave rack for tow vehicle use. I have a rubber tub I use now but want to haul more and not inside my pathfinder
