#2 sounds more like it to me.

If you were "carrying" 14,000 lbs on the rear axles and 2,000 on the kingpin that would give your coach a GVWR of 16,000 lbs. Having 12,000 on the axles would be approx. 6,000 per axle and that would keep you inline with the CC (carrying capacity) of the coach.

For my specific coach I have something like 11,200 lbs on the axles and 2,100 lbs on the kingpin bringing my "total weight" to 13,300 lbs.
