We just did this. Here's what happened when we put a bolt attachment on our 2016 fifth wheel for our two e-bikes - we hauled those bikes for one short trip to the coast and came back and I had a front hitch installed on my truck. We have a camera on the fiver and I turned it on when we traveled. The bikes looked fine but by the time we got to the coast we noticed that the bumper was starting to twist. It's just not meant for any weight on it. My recommendation is to find something else. Either get something welded to the frame of the trailer (one of the options we explored) or get a front hitch for the truck.
