I may have a solution for you, but I'm not aware of a 14" trailer tire existing with these specs (Load Range E and 14 ply). The highest rated 205/75r14 tire we have is the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # 274-000012 which is rated for 2,040-lbs per tire and is an 8 ply tire. These are radial tires, so they're well suited for highway travel and would do just fine on your cross-country trip. Most tires this size top out at Load Range D and have no more than 8 ply.

In order to get up to a Load Range E tire you would need a 15" wheel; the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL304 would be a 10 ply tire with a 2,830-lbs per tire capacity that might work. However, this would involve changing wheels and making sure your trailer has the available clearance to add tires that are 2" taller.

If you wanted to go this route, let me know what bolt pattern is on your current wheels and I can see if there is something that would work for you. I've also linked some review videos of these tires for you to have a look at.
