Based on your travel trailer weight of 6,800 lbs, a safe load rating will be 1,700 lbs maximum. The Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C # AM1ST92 you asked from are rated for 1,820 lbs at 50 psi, so they are a good choice for your trailer.

I recommend using radial tires if you will be doing mostly highway traveling as they dissipate heat differently and allow for better traction. My recommendation is the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TTWTRTM2057515C which has the same load capacity and speed rating but has better siping for traction in wet conditions and will have less rolling resistance and heat buildup that leads to a longer tread life.
