2009 Jayco Designer Rear Bumper Damage

So I'm a new class c rv owner and made my first blunder before even going on a trip. I bought a used 2009 Jayco Designer 32 footer. I go to emissions testing station, pull in, test and get ready to leave. I notice that this station has cars parked in front of the exit area of each of the garages and I was smart enough to pull into the one on the far right. But I still know it's going to be tight getting out. I asked the inspector to watch the rear so that I make it all the way out while I watch how much room I have in front of me. Not hearing anything from the guy as I'm pulling out and trying to clear my front end, a loud scraping noise comes from the rear. I am beyond belief! The rear bumper caught the pylon on the right side and bent the you know what out of it. I really want to replace the bumper but don't know where to find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post a picture of it for identification, not because we've all been there done that too.

I personally would find a machine shop to cut a new bumper and weld on new brackets or weld on in place. Assuming it can’t be straightened out

It looks like some damage on the right rear corner trim also.

Lesson: Don't trust anyone to spot for you!
