Sewer Bumper

Thanks for all the responses.I have started calling around here in Albuquerque looking for a good welder. I like the idea of getting a thicker bumper anyway (like Scott recommends), one that would hold up better in another fender bender situation. Maybe just buy a plastic tube like this one (thanks J-D and Dakota for the suggestions) that I can install on top of new, heavier fender: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/64-e-z-hose-carrier-black/60174

I'll keep you all posted and send pics of what I end up doing.
