I need to get these for front and rear bumper. I have been rearend so many times now because of distracted drivers.😡😡😡😡😡 This would definitely save me money on insurance claim Thankyou for the video!👍.
If you drive a car, I would get one installed because without it. You will get damage to rear tail lights and vehicle body damages. The car in the back of you will hit the sparebumper and get stopped and won't be able to touch your car's body or rear lights because the sparebumper is in the way.
I tow a small trailer sometimes on the weekends. So I was hoping I could pop that super bumber in/out in a second with no tools - like I do with my ball hitch. Having to use straps to install every time would be a problem. And is the compression method prescribed in the owner's manual? Seems like pre-compressing the shock absorbers would reduce their capacity to absorb. Also, I've read that, like most cheaper steel you use outdoors, they rust fast. How's yours holding up?
If you were to remove the awning, would there be a hole or two in the roof? could the wiring be used for a security system or exterior lighting? Thanks
I am working on removing the awning, just not sure when it will happen. From the way I understand, it's mounted to mounting points on the roof. The same ones a roof rack would mount to. Not sure about the wiring, that is what I am trying to figure out now.
@@CampingCoastie Thank you for your assessment. If it leaves many holes I may need to order instead of buy one off the lot. Please post a video if you decide to remove it. You are very educational! Thanks again.
Did the spare bumper have any affect on the van's rear departure angle? Also, a thought: if one had bikes on a rack up on the van door, like the one that comes from Coachmen, a spare bumper might help protect them, too.
It does affect the rear approach/departure angle. Mostly because it projects straight back. I am use to it and approach banked areas at an angle. I might get a different mount for it.
Gard, love your videos and your channel. Spare bumper is great! Can you do an after dark video with the outside lights on to see how bright they are? Also, does the energy management system on the beyond have a feature like the Travato that will allow 10 to 15 amp system recharge on 110V like in a garage with an adapter and 10 gauge cord on the 30 amp power cord with the beyond?
Thanks! I will do a video soon with the new lights, they are amazing. I can set my inverter to limit input amps in 5 amp intervals. The lowest is 5 up to 30. Here is a video I made showing how it works. ruclips.net/video/R3GUKUL4mKA/видео.html
@@CampingCoastie I am also curious why you chose the Beyond over the Pleasure Way Ontour 2.2? Your input is valuable. I am seeing a lot of issues with the Winnebago Travato's on YT channels so I have eliminated the Travato from my future purchase plan. The Pleasure Way Ontour 2.2 has a five year warranty and the Coachman Beyond has a 1 year warranty. I understand going away from the Pleasure Way wide body but why a Beyond over the Ontour? I am down to these 2 rv's for future purchase so your input of choosing one over the other is valued!
We toured the Coachmen Beyond factory and were impressed with how they build them. We really liked the very quiet 12 volt AC, and that it can run for 4 to 10 hours on the lithium batteries. We liked not having a built-in gasoline generator to maintain and all the noise associated with it. Everything runs on 12 volts and is powered by the batteries except for the microwave and the Truma Combi. We like the insulation Coachmen uses, Rockwool, plus we have the optional Phase Change insulation. We like the drawers in the kitchen, dovetailed joints and not notched for plumbing. We also like the side and rear door screens. The PleasreWay is also very nice, but it was also more than $25,000 more expensive.
@@CampingCoastie Thank you for your quick responses to my questions. I hope Coachmen does a running change on the back windows to awning style. When and if they do, you have been a big help on my future purchase decision-making! Stay safe and well!
I paid right at $140 plus shipping. When I ordered he said they had a special that I could get the black or the polished one for the same price. Super fast shipping too!
Hi Gar I bought the spare bumper for our 2020 coachman beyond i installed it worked great until ? I had to back up and the backup sensors picked it up ? Is there a way to avoid this as it is constantly on now when backing up ? Was curious if you had this issue or is it just me ?? Do I need to turn the sensor off ? If I can
I have a a 2019 chassis and don't have the sensors. On my truck I had sensors and would turn them off when I had my bike rack on the back. If that works for you having the sensors off when backing up might be okay. I have noticed that sense I have been using this people don't tailgate or park close to me.
I found this online: How to Silence a Ford Backup Alarm Start the Ford vehicle, and put it in reverse. The backup alarm will begin to sound. Press the "Select/Reset" stem on the center dash controls. Hold it down for a couple of seconds, then release it. Wait four seconds for the "Select/Reset" menu to return to the main screen. The Ford backup alarm is now disabled.

I got rear-ended once on I75 in rush hour traffic. Luckily, the car behind me was not going fast. Distracted drivers are dangerous.
Just put mine on today. I had to contact the manufacturer because one end of the bumper was missing its cover
I really like having it.
I’m I love with mine too
Nice video!!!
Thanks!

You can, just don't put in all the rubber bumpers. That's how I do it now.
Believe it or not I slipped cardboard along the inside of the receiver and no rattling.
That can help for awhile.
Eliminates tailgaters
Yes!
Okay that's super cool idea.
I think so too! I hope you are having a great day!
Great video .. Hopefully one day I can get my own Beyond
Thanks. I hope you get one soon.

Hello! Do you still recommend this spare bumper for the coachmen beyond?
With the back up sensors no, but without them yes. I like the extra protection it provides.
do you know when the new 2021 beyond will come out on the new 2020 AWD Ford Transit Chassis?
Not sure yet, hopefully soon because a lot of people are wanting them.
@@CampingCoastie will they offer AWD?
As far as I know they will, just don't know when.

I do enjoy having people not pull up close to me and park.

Appreciate the video and installation suggestions. How much did the spare bumper cost?
Do the sell the bumper in longer lengths?
I paid right at $140 plus shipping. When I ordered he said they had a special that I could get the black or the polished one for the same price. Super fast shipping too!
I forgot your last question, 24 inches is as long as they make.
@@CampingCoastie Thanks, I would be looking for a 60" for wider access step up....I'll post if found

Thank you for sharing very nice got my support👍👍👍
I'm happy to subscribe, too
Thank you very much!
Cool idea!
I like it, if nothing else, it will protect the van in parking lots.
Thx for sharing. Good idea.
Did you get a chance to drive with it on? Does it rattle?
I have not noticed any rattles yet. I did install it using the compression method, without that I would guess it might rattle some.
@@CampingCoastie Thanks.
