All aftermarket bumpers are not created equal. Mine is made from 3/16" steel, and bolted to the frame rails in multiple places, with grade 8 hardware. The hitch will likely tear free from the motorhome before the Jeep bumper comes off.

Take a look at where the safety cables/chains attach to the MH tow hitch. There's the weak link in my case. YMMV!
