It's fairly common for camper manufacturers to include the correct tire size on the ID tag that includes the VIN and the GVWR information.

I spent a considerable amount of time online looking for the tire size of your travel trailer, and wasn't able to find anything.

I tried contacting the coach manufacturer, but because they've been bought and sold several times they couldn't find any information on your travel trailer. I was told that the ID tag is typically placed on the inside of one of the kitchen cabinets or closet doors. That would be your best bet to locate the original tire size.

It's not recommended to run tires of differing sizes on a trailer, if your Travel Trailer is a tandem axle, all 4 tires should be the same size, construction and weight rating. All 4 tires should be inflated to the pressure listed on the tire sidewall, unlike passenger vehicle tires that will have an acceptable range of inflation. This is a very likely explanation for the blowout you experienced.

I found that your TT had a GVWR of 6190 lbs, which means you'll need to choose four tires whose combined weight rating exceeds or equals that amount. If the ride height offered by the tires you used previously worked out okay with nothing bottoming out, you could use a 205/75-14 tire like part # TTWTRTM2157514D, which is a radial tire. The # AM1ST86 you mentioned would work but I'd recommend using a radial tire that will run cooler for longer tire life and provide a smoother ride. The tire has plenty of capacity for your travel trailer.
