I once saw a trailer backed THROUGH as yellow vertical concreted pipe. The trailer was fiberglas shelled and the pipe steel. The pipe won.
For approx $50 I added a rear bumper made of 2" tubular steel. Weighs about 15 lbs. bolts to the undercarriage. Peace of mind.

Nice Anchor...would you mind posting a few pics from underneath showing how you mounted?

Sorry this has taken so long to reply. If you hacksaw or Portoband one side of the 2" tubing, shave the wall off of it, it will slide inside the square tubing frame member. You can then drill and bolt through the frame. I used self tapping metal screws, quick and easy. I can stand on the bumper and it is solidly in place.   SEE YOU OUT THERE.

looks great - good idea and I like that it isn't very heavy. I second the suggestion of some pictures showing the attachment
