If you'll notice that 40k load was a low profile about 25' long triple axle utility trailer with the load centered directly over those axles so it's a very good test for those in the construction industry, but not so much for towing long tall heavy rvs. If that was a 5th wheel RV loaded that heavy the pin weight would be well over 8000lbs & to my knowledge there's not a 1 ton dually made by any of the big 3 with that kind of payload available.
As for class A gas or class C motorhomes with the long frame extension added by the RV manufacturer it's anybody's guess, or the spit in the wind shadow test, as to what/how a room full of engineers that likely have never parked their cheeks in the seat of any motorhome or tow vehicle came up with a number.
