If you check closely Marty, I dont think there is a variance on the motorhome's from what the trucks can scale, axlewise. The M/H's that run heavy on the drive axles normally have a tag axle on them. They go up to 20k on the driven rear axle and an additonal 14,000 on the tag assuming they have the tires for it. That gives them 34,000 + 12,000 on the steers for a full 46,000 lbs over the 3 axles --- just like a 3 axle tractor or heavy duty truck. I don't think they'll let a motorhome run heavier than that.
