a friend of mine was helping me up my driveway by giving me a little push with his bulldozer, My explorer couldn't pull my 25' Safari up the 15% grade portion, and as a result, of course, my rear bumper was gnarled. I managed to reattach the bumper by pulling the thing off and re-drilling the holes and bolting the thing back on, I'm not concerned about it falling off, but where can I have it re-shaped or replaced in Northern Ca. and how uch ought it to cost?
You might call the factory, for your model year..
A new replacement shouldn't be more than a few hundred dollars..
Just curious... , what is the style of the bumper on the 99?
I have seen different styles from my 84, to the point, where some of the newer units..Are almost like "plastic"..is this what you have?
I guess the moral of this experience is:
Airstream and, bulldozer do not mix well..
ciao

If you're lucky all you will need is a bumper. I don't think the frames on an Airstream or any travel trailer were designed to be pushed with anything, let alone a bulldozer. You certainly could have tweaked the frame, the shell or the tongue.
