    Drawtight makes a front mounted 2" receiver mount. (221.00) There's an articulating hitch that can go between the 2" hitch on the back of the RV and the front mounted hitch if you install it. Not a good idea to bumper pull anything. I think the articulating hitch is a macmasters.

    I know about the hitch because mine is in my workshop waiting for me to install it - just being lazy now.

    i should mention there are brackets available to bolt to the frame where the tow hooks mount.
    we have two customers who use this setup.

    Four times I've seen bumper hitched vehicles come apart while I was driving behind them. Not a good day for anyone.

    If you bolt that front mounted 2" receiver you can do the same thing I do - Carry a winch in a cradle that allows the movement of the winch to the front or the back. Going forward is not always the best idea when stuck.

    I launched my boat on the Ark River using a front mounted hitch on my Tundra. There is a drop off at the end of the ramp so I want to know where my tires are.
