This is where the fresh water is on the Axis/Vegas 24.1 units.
The waste tanks, however, are below floor in between the axles.
Note that the fuel tank is behind the rear axle as well (but below floor).
I think the manufacturers just treat motorhomes like they do travel trailers and 5th wheels. In the tow-behind case they just balance the unit on the axles with 10-25% tongue weight. For motorhomes its the same thing: just balance the units on the rear axle with some forward bias (a bit more than the trailer case though).
This is how you get those big overhangs: Its just a balancing act.
