The Swagman bike rack # S64663 has a bracket that will fit on square steel bumpers that are welded their entire length and that are 4 to 4-1/2 inches square. The bumper also has to be rated to carry weight and, if it is, rated high enough for the combined weight of the carrier and bikes. The rack can also be used without the bumper mount as long as there is a 2 inch hitch receiver at the front of the RV. The rack measures 4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest wheel loop for clearance.
The owners manual literature or the manufacturer should be able to tell you if the bumper can carry weight and if so how much it is rated for.
Please note that having bikes loaded at the front of the vehicle can hinder driver visibility, block headlights, and constrict air flow. Air flow would not be a concern if the engine is at the back of the RV.
