From some of the pictures I've seen, it appears that some of the class 8 motorhomes do not have a strong, bullet proof rear bumper but rather a fiberglass reap cap piece and the rear ladder looks vulnerable to being smashed if you back into something solid.

Does anyone have a rig with a solid rear bumper that could take a bump without being smashed and want to share any photos/links to?

I'm not concerned about beauty, I'm concerned about what happens if I back into something solid or hit from the rear?

Thanks.
