I don't think it would solve much because the front wheels of the toad would have to be aimed in the exact direction that the motorhome's rear hitch would take the tow bar as both units move back, and I think that would be essentially impossible to coordinate other than moving 100% straight back; and probably only for very short distance even then.
Ultimately the tow bar will want to skid the toad's front wheels laterally across the pavement. This creates forces that are not normal while towing, hence equipment isn't designed for it. None of it. Not the tow bar and attachment, the hitch receiver, or the motorhome's chassis.
