I'm have always been a believer in the adage that "Luck favors the prepared". Haven't gotten my Moho stuck yet but figure it's just a matter of time. So I got some tow hooks to put on the front so I have an easy place to hook up to when it happens. Found a set of OEM hooks on Ebay for $30 and even came with the big Grade 8 bolts to install them. I had to remove the bumper to install the hooks and the factory fog lights were in the way. I never liked the factory fog lights anyway so I removed them and going back with flush mount baja design squadron lights. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to realize the lights weren't sold as a pair so waiting for the second light to arrive so for now we just call it Blinky. I pulled the headlight bezels and had them and the bumper wrapped in black while I was at it. Still plan to get side view mirrors wrapped as well in near future.

Better to have than not have.  Had my Class A stuck twice in Glamis but the front axle was easy to access for a solid place to strap it.

I’m sure I could strap to the front axle but for $30 and some of my time this seemed like a no brainer. And gave me the excuse to do the other items I wanted to do.

I really wish I had a motorhome like yours so I could do the same thing.  I’m special and keep getting my Class A stuck.  A special shout out to @FOGand @RIDERED who helps me get unstuck.

Let me know if you need the OEM part numbers for the hooks. There are more listed on Ebay. I recommend buying the ones with the hardware. Each hook uses 4(ea) 5/8 bolts and top lock nuts. Probably $30 or more to buy those bolts. You need longer bolts than what’s there now. 

 
I have a Thor Vegas - Kinda a Class A on an E450  and I did a front hitch bolted to the frame behind the bumper  and made a license plate bracket over it kinda clean looking and one of those night before  a trip 30 minute cover up  job

 I can put any hook I want - super simple 

sorry for the bad pics

I built one on my truck like this.  its a good thing too, because it got stuck a bunch.

 
I too put a front hitch on my F-350. Although I bought mine. It wasn't very expensive and an easy bolt-on. It's not only good if you need to get pulled out but it's great to hook a trailer to the front of the vehicle if you have to get into tight places. Much more maneuverability on the front than the rear hitch.

that is actually why I did mine, but with my driveway, it turned out to be more of a PITA than just backing it in.  LOL.

Completely agree. 
I had a “professional” towing service at Pismo many years ago that tore up the front of my class A.
