Since the hose is round, and the bumper square, a bolt drilled near the bottom corner shouldn't interfere. (Now, if you drilled in the middle, you've created a problem.) All you need inside is enough for a nut and a washer. Put another nut and washer on the outside, to hold it snug. Those eyebolts don't need to be all that big, maybe 1/4th inch.

I have my Protect A Tow mounted to the metal bumper on my Vegas, and before it was on the fiberglass bumper of a Class A. Neither stow the hose in the bumper. If you are worried about the drilled hole rusting, hit it with some spray paint. Since it is on the bottom, you could just use black, if you don't have matching paint.

Those eyebolts need to be mounted to the bumper to properly protect your car. There really isn't any other place to mount it. I get that some folks get queasy when it comes to drilling holes in a vehicle. It's kinda like that first scratch or dent on a new car. The second one is easier!
