Default Weights and measures

I've had 2 motor homes since the mid 1990's. the first was a 33' Sea Breeze (vacation coach) and the 2nd was a 2001 Country Coach Intrigue with double slide (full time for 3 years). I pay attention to weights, axle and suspension ratings and find that probably (at least) 90% of motor home owners haven't a clue or care about how much weight they're carrying or it's distribution. I don't own a Newell (yet) but would like to hear from owners who have had their coaches weighed (fully loaded) at each wheel. Are Newells built to evenly distribute weight on the 4 corners? Do you find too much weight in the front and not the back? Is carrying capacity evenly distributed in the basement? How do options such as washer/dryers, etc affect your weight?
I realize each coach is custom but there must be a common thread in chassis build and weight distribution.
