How much weight can my bumper support?

I am looking into mounting a toolbox to put batteries in on by back bumper. The bumper itself looks to be pretty solid and the weight will be distributed over 4' of the bumper. Anyone have anything heavy hanging off their bumper? I figure I will be putting about 300 lbs on the bumper.

You've got a new camper. Why not contact your dealer, and Keystone, and ask them?

Contacting Keystone will get you the standard "Any modification to the frame or suspension will void any warranty and may render the coach unsafe". Unless you call them very early in the morning before anyone in the front office gets to work. You can, under certain circumstances, get to talk to one of the workers in the plant who will be candid. Otherwise, you just get a scripted response.
