E-450 Front Hitch Mount?

Question

I own a 1997 30' Lazy Daze Class-C and want to install a front hitch to haul my dirt bike. The chassis measured 40 on the outter walls and 36 on the inner (2 inch beam) and the bumper is 5 inches lower than the frame.

Any suggestions for hitches to use and does / don'ts?

Thanks.

eTrailer and U-haul both have a front hitch-receiver for the E-series.

I have a BuckStop bumper, but those off-the-shelf options are just fine for a single dirt-bike.

The dirt-bike tires can cast a head-light shadow. I fitted my dirt-bike rack with some inexpensive driving lights to fill in those shadows. I also added some turn signals to make sure the van's aren't obscured from any angle.

Make sure you don't block air flow to the radiator. DAMHIK

Keep on eye on all temps.  Install a tranny temp gauge.  Make sure your radiator is up to the chore.
