I am researching the affect of HCVs on class A motor home weight distribution (dynamic). I would like to communicate with an engineer familiar with HCVs, and RV installations. Currently I understand that class A RVs may have two HCVs per axle whereas commercial trucks commonly have one per axle. This is due to disproportionate axle loading of RVs, I understand.
Can anyone assist in describing the weight transfer of RVs equipped with multiple HCVs per axle? Any experts on HCVs out there?
