Scooter in front

Hello
I have a Jayco class c motorhome with a receiver hitch on the front for launching my boat. I would like to carry my scooter on the front hitch when pulling my boat. I was wondering if anyone out there does this and if so, does it affect the cooling system in the rv. The scooter is very light, around 200 lbs so weight isn't an issue.

Thanks

Air flow

Many people do haul on the front but my concern would be reduced air flow and overheating so I wouldn't mount anything in front of my radiator

Sometimes, we haul our bikes on the front of the TV. It works fine. It does block some of the headlights' beam on our TV, and the bikes collect a lot of bugs and get hit by debris (mostly pebbles that chip the paint). It is not our first choice, but it does work. Tight parking lots and corners are made tighter by it, too.
