Flat towing with Savvy bumper

[PisgahLJ]

Just picked up a new to me RV and planning on towing my LJ. Problem being the Savvy Bumper doesn't have D ring mounts to hook up to and I really don't want all that crap under the bumper or have to switch away from it. Only thing I've found that would mount on top of the bumper is made from aluminum by Metalcloak and they state not for flat towing. Nothing made from steel and I haven't been able to find anything made from steel available.

Anyone have any thoughts? Know where I can get any of these that I could hook my flat tow to?
Thanks!

Yep, aware of this one but looking to mount on top of bumper and not on bottom to reduce the chance of damaging the tow equipment.

@mrblaine will surely have something to add.

Ok, but unless your RV tow hitch is 3 feet off the ground, you want your tow bar as flat as possible. That's why most kits are designed to mount below the bumper.

Rv hitch is 24" top of bumper is 28". A small rise hitch would work just fine.

Looks like the bolt pattern is the same, just mount those Rock Jock brackets on the top and call it good.

I use trailers. I've never flat towed anything.

What type of tow bar are you using? Could you get a fabricator/machinist to make what you posted in the OP out of steel with a 1" D-ring mount? As long as they mount to the frame via the upper tow hook mounts and aren't too long horizontally?

Bolt pattern is not the same, off by about a 1/4". Rock Jock brackets won't work on top.

Looks like this is the only option for a top mount. Was hoping someone's Google foo was better than mine and had an easy premade one ready to go, but might be stuck with custom mount or going on the bottom with Rock Jock part.
