Yes, as long as the motorhome's receiver and frame extension is designed for the loads the weight distribution will add beyond just vertical tongue weight. That's the part that's not clear because labeling on many motorhome receivers doesn't address it.

By the way, total weight on trailer and coach axles still has to add to the same. You can shift it around but it has to end up supported by axles at some location. A highly loaded motorhome towing a heavy trailer is something I would personally not want to do.
