My FE American is a heavy dog, GVW of 32,000 and weighs 24,000 before I load it with bikes or coolers full of beer which puts it over 26,000. I can put 2000# of motorcycles in the rear and never feel rear heavy or out of balance. I think of it as how many humans can fit back there and what will they weigh? Mine is about 10 feet from CL of wheels to rear and is a 14 window unit at 38 feet. They did make a 15 window bus, a 40 footer with a little more overhang. Seems like mine can handle anything I can throw at it. What I have noticed is it's a little slower getting started and it takes a little longer to stop when loaded.
