E-450 Front Hitch Mount?

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.

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

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

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.
