To replace the 4.80-12 size tires on your tear camper I highly recommend the Taskmaster # TT48012C. This is a radial 6 ply tire which means it's going to run a lot cooler on the highway compared to bias alternatives, making it a great choice before you take off on the extended road trip you mentioned. It features a maximum load of 990 pounds at 90 psi and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph (most trailer tires have a 65 mph rating).

I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
