Are My Load Range D Tires Rated Sufficiently For My 2019 Coachmen Apex Nano

It looks like your 2019 Coachmen Apex Nano has a GVWR of 3800-lbs. When it comes to the tires that you've got, which are 205/75R14-Load Range D like the Kenda Karrier # AM10235, those are going to have a capacity of 2200-lbs each, for a total of 4400-lbs. As long as you're not overloading your trailer, you really don't need to be concerned with them being insufficient. According to your spec sticker, this trailer is only designed to carry an additional 800-lbs or so of cargo, so I would be careful not to overload it, but even at the maximum load your Load Range D tires are well within the safe load range for them. Unfortunately, we do not have any Load Range E tires in that size that you could even use to upgrade.

If you wanted to go up to a larger tire and wheel combination like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E, Item # AM10303, you may be able to make it work depending on how much clearance you've got in your wheel wells and the bolt pattern on your hubs. This tire is Load Range E so the capacity is going to be 2830-lbs per tire/ 5660-lbs total. They're not going to increase the GVWR on your trailer, but they may provide you with some additional peace of mind that they'll always be able to handle your fully loaded trailer.

Let us know the bolt pattern on your wheels, and I can see if we have a Load Range E tire and wheel combination with 15" wheels that might work for your 2019 Apex Nano.
