If the frame flexes, the stresses are going to be taken up by the trailer sidewalls. If there's a slideout, any stresses will have to be taken up by the wall section remaining above and below the slideout opening. Location of the wheels depends on how the interior load is distributed. If the heavy parts of the interior are toward the rear, the rear overhang should theoretically be a bit less. It's up to the mfr. Toy haulers should have a bit less rear overhang depending on the load they can carry. On my 32' Carri-Lite (not a toy hauler), subtract the front overhang, and the axles are about centered in the remaining length, so the overhang is about 12 ft.
