But to say any RV is not likely to reach those limits may not be quite true. For a single rear axle MH, it's quite easy to reach 20K on an axle. My rig's ratings are 13K front, and 20K rear, and it's real hard to distribute the weight properly so that rear axle is not overloaded. I've also heard where some MH's are coming from the factory with 22K (and maybe even 24K) rear axles!
Don't confuse "rating" with actual weight. 2 completely separate things. I've weighed several Class As who wanted their weight checked. Never ever saw one actually go over 20K on a single axle.
Then you haven't seen mine. I know the difference between ratings and actual weights, and I'm not confusing them here. Like I said above, it's hard to distribute the weight properly on my rig. Only light stuff goes in the back of my main basement compartment, and many of my cabinets in the back of the rig are mostly empty. It would appear that most of my CCC is on the front axle, and most of my storage space is by the rear axle. It's very hard for me to keep my rear axle under 20K, and I've got the weigh slips to show it.
I can't believe that my rig is the only one like this.
