How do I know if the axles are at maximum load? Shouldnt the manufacture take that in consideration when they build these Motorhomes?

I don't know if it's a mandated item these days, but at least some RV builders weigh each unit before shipment and print that number on the INTERIOR label. Much larger than anything that'll fit in a cab door jamb, it's usually glued to the inside of a cabinet or closet door. The number may be called "UVW" for Unloaded Vehicle Weight. But say somebody opted in on a spare tire and it's on a rear bumper rack. That's not only nearly 100-pounds. It's also nearly 100 10- or 12-feet back of the rear axle. That weight applies a leveraged amount to the rear axle and actually reduces weight on the front axle.

All this is why I suggested earlier: GO WEIGH THE THING!

Some coach builders leave very little carrying capacity, and some use such a short wheelbase that the rear is overloaded and the front doesn't carry the 1/3 of loaded weight that it needs for proper tracking on the road.

GO WEIGH IT. If you have a toad, tow it onto the scale. Report will say:

Steer - Your Front Axle weight
Drive - Your Rear Axle weight
Trailer - Total Weight of Toad
