I spoke to Curt about mounting the bumper mount hitch receiver, part # E-3S, on a front bumper and they said it doesn't really matter where it's installed as long as it's bolted to a good secure mounting point. You would also need to make sure the bumper of your 2017 Winnebago Fuse is rated to handle whatever load you're using it for.

From my research your motorhome is built on a Ford Transit chassis. Looking at pictures I don't really see how you're going to safely install the # E-3S but like I said, if you can find a safe way to do it then the hitch will work for you.
