I pull a Monty fiver with my Ram 3500, 2020. The Montana High Country has no provisions for a trailer hitch on the rear and in fact, they say nothing is to be attached to the rear of the trailer. This isn't so with the Montana, but the Montana High Country is a cheaper model. Never the less I want to be able to carry a small motorcycle/scooter or attach my bike rack to the front of the truck via a standard 2" receiver. Can this be done without the addition of a large rack , (what I call a cow catcher rack, but I'm sure there's another proper name for it)? Will this add additional stress to the front end, say if the cycle is limited to 500 lbs? Does anyone have an innovative way to carry a scooter/cycle/bike on the front or anyother location?
Any good shops (I'm in the DFW area) that do this modification?

The added weight of the bike on the front will most definitely add stress to the front suspension, but no more so than people who use snow plows.

Here is the first result that come up when I googled 3500 front receiver.

 
if your rv has steel frame, most likely, you can have someone custom weld a hitch to the rear frame. I did on a 30ft TT once and that darn thing could have carried 3 bikes on it.
