OP has a good point. There must be some way manufacturer can determine fore & aft center of balance on a motorhome and mark it on side of unit.
It's simple arithmetic given the (actual) axle weights. Obviously the center of gravity (and the weights) will vary with loading. I'm not sure what useful purpose marking the center of gravity on the side of a motorhome would serve; there's rarely if ever a need to balance it on a central pivot point.
Maybe my post wasn't clear enough, but actual weights for front and back axles are not found on MFG's web sites. If you are trying to narrow down on the MH's you like, that means if you have 5 choices all 5 would have to be weighted prior to purchase, which would be impractical. That is why I asked the question is there another way to get these weights or at least estimate them. My thought is sometimes OCC is given and if you know the GVWR you can subtract the OCC to get the UWV, then knowing the CG you at least estimate the weight distribution. Many on here report if the front axle is too light that the ride will be a little squirrely.
