I can't imagine this being so complicated... Do RV companies not make their vehicles to be able to have 2, 250lb men in the back bedroom? I mean, other than just a few feet of disbursion difference, that's exactly what we're talking about here... Two men, standing on the rear bumper, if you will (if the rear bumper were welded in place by 3 separate mounting tubes affixed to the frame rails)
However, do not be too comfortable with the manufacturer making their motorhomes for the capacity you and I believe they should. They try to include so many amenities in the living quarters, that owners fill up the space with non-essentials and can load the axles to the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). I owned a shorter Class A that even had a covered roof top carrier. It was large enough (about 6' x 8' x 1.5' high) to overload the rear axle all by itself.
Consider your car, can it haul 500 lbs in the trunk without bottoming out? It can be done, but know your weights and how to drive.
