So, to recap, you are running on cheap tires while overweight and towing a 7,000# trailer.
First, I would make sure that you do not have any specific problem with the RRI position. For example, a grabbing brake, wheel bearing issue, axle problem, etc., since it is indeed a little strange to have three tires in the same position let go in the same fashion in two years.
Second, get a set of quality tires with the proper load rating.
And third, you should really have a solid heart to heart conversation with yourself, analyzing your operation, and deciding whether what you are doing is the safest course of action for both yourself and other people on the road. I don't believe that a 30' Fourwinds has that amount of towing capacity. Running that far overweight on garbage tires is a very risky proposition. I think you are very lucky to have only had a couple token blowouts. Consider those "warning shots" that something is seriously wrong.
