An engineer friend saw it yesterday and said he thought it was extremely dangerous,
I have a neighbor who is a engineer...which means nothing as far this subject goes. He is a engineer for a large gas and electricity generating company.
I also worked with aircraft engineers who also knew nothing about automotive front mount carrier's and highway safety.
The only engineer I would listen too would be a structural automotive engineer. Other engineer types are out of their element and can give very bad/ignorant opinions as we see on so rv websites.
As mentioned the OP question can only be considered a loaded question as we have no idea how his front mount carrier is rated or fabricated or mounts to the van or what or how much it carries.
But in general front mounts are just as safe as any carrier mounts.
Get a trailer ??
We see lots of trailers on the road (large and small) with front and rear mounts carrying something.
Are those carriers safe or unsafe ??
It depends on the particulars.
