By law the axle capacity needs to meet or exceed the GVWR of the RV. Yes, pin weight will prevent the full GVWR from ever being completely on the axles, but that's the way it is. (Some brands got burned and fined big time a few years back for not complying...) On mine, I have three 7k axles for my 21k GVWR. Dry weight on my RV was 16k so two 8k axles won't work or even come close to working.
We have been looking at pretty much every toy hauler in the past 6 months. I have seen some new double axles with gvwr over 14k with 7k axles. What you say makes perfect sense because when I saw them I thought to myself "how can they do that?".
