Helpful Expert Reply:
You'll want to choose tires that have a combined load rating greater than the GVWR (maximum allowable weight of the trailer, trailer weight plus all gear stowed on it).
I'd recommend the # TR20514 Provider radial in 205/75-15, load range C which would have a combined load rating (4 tires) of 7040 lbs which is plenty for the 6000 lb weight of your travel trailer. The tire carries an 81 mph speed rating. Provider is a well known tire supplier for the OEM market, who has recently started selling tires to the aftermarket.
I'll link you to our trailer tire FAQ article, which you might find helpful.
