This is a topic that has been discussed at length. Personally, I don't like the front hitch idea for two reasons- one, with the nose of the motorhome pointing downhill, weight is transferred off of the drive wheels, reducing traction. Two, to get the boat far enough into the water, you may have to drive far enough into the water to risk getting the engine wet. When you back in you take advantage of the long rear overhang and can get the boat into the water quite aways without putting the rear tires into the water. With 2/3 of the vehicle weight on the drive tires, a powerful engine and low gearing, most motorhomes can pull a boat up a ramp easily. However, putting the generator into the water is a valid concern.
