Had first blowout

Had my first tire blowout today. Have a 2003 Jayco Granite Ridge 3100ss that we picked up little over a year ago. Coming home blew the passenger side inside rear tire, luckily right at exit off freeway and a short distance to tire store. Tires less than 2 years old, less than 6,000 miles, 80 pounds pressure. I have cut as much weight as possible, outside storage to a minimum, but still had the blow out. So the question is: can I solve this problem without getting the load G wheels/tires or do I sell the rig? We travel 85 miles to camp, I drive 60 mph or less, unit drives like a dream so I feel weight distribution must be OK. I am at a crossroad here, we love the rig but from what I read in the forum here there is no solution other than going to heavy duty rims/tires, may be time to sell the C. Any reliable tires out there you recommend other than light duty truck tires that will fit stock rims? Thanks in advance. Jerry.
