Like others said, and you guessed, it varies.
In general it seems to vary between "barely sufficient" and "not at all enough." I suspect a good many of the motorhomes you see traveling the roads are overweight per the chassis specifications. (Since they are not commercial vehicles or trucks with registered weights, and since the axle weights are well below the DOT maximum, it's not illegal, though it is potentially unsafe or, at least, less safe and not gentle on the chassis.)
