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.

As top heavy as our 27K Windsport is, I am not totally dissatisfied with its handling characteristics. When I drive it I take myself out of the car/pickup truck mode, and operate it in the motor home mode. It's not perfect and not always stable in certain conditions.
