Cowcatchers
I installed a brush guard/cowcatcher on my pickup to protect it when animals ran in front of me and it has saved me expensive repairs several times! So my question is do they make them for motorhomes ...

Class A motorhomes in particular are so poorly supported and reinforced on the front end that you would need a carload of steel to build a decent structure far enough back to find support for anything that could even pretend to perform like a cow catcher. The best approach is to double drive defensively and definitely don't follow to closely. In addition to all that it would probably be necessary to install additional springs or airbags to hold all that junk up. And then what would all that do to the GVWR?
I don't know which motorhome builder you are referring to, but my Spartan chassis has frame rails within 12" of the front cap. Both sides of the gen/set 8" U channels, but they are 4 feet off the ground, kinda hard to use as carrier or guard attachment points.
but they are there.
All of'em as evidenced by your Spartan. A carload of steel would help on all of'em.
