Front bumper 2" sq receiver hitch.

I am thinking about getting a 2" square trailer hitch receiver that mounts to the front frame and protrudes through the front bumper. Found one on Etrailer that they say is easy to install to fit my 2016 E series Ford cutaway, RV. It doesn't seem too expensive and I am a do-it-yourselfer as far as installation.

Has anybody else used/installed or had 1 installed one of these?
Do you have any regrets about it?

I have been to swap meets, rod or bike events what have you, where your camp spot is across open lawn like terrain. I have also seen these week long events get lots of rain, then mgt would help unstuck these rigs pulling them out with a tractor. lol

Etrailer also offers a tow pull adapter with a shackle on it. I seem to think this better than laying in muck looking for a good attachment point that you won't just rip your bumper off.

I am also thinking of building some sort of carry rack that will slip in it too, to free up the rear receiver because I am seriously considering a toad vehicle, or tow dolly. I'm getting more serious now about the long haul, .

Here are some links about what I'm talking about, any thoughts?
