I "think" you have 2 things going on.
1. There is extreme wear on the damaged tire if that is only 2,000 miles on a 1 year old tire. The wear maybe pointing to an axle or wheel alignment problem. If you look across the entire face of the tire there is extreme wear compared to the spare for 2,000 miles
Is the entire 360 degree out side of that tire worn like that? More pics of the damaged tire on the opposite side will help show this.
2. A good question is, did the heavy wear cause the tire to come apart or does the tire itself have an issue? That side wall split is piece of this puzzle.
Look at the other tires, especially the tire on the other end of the axle where this failed tire is.
Consider reporting your tire failure to the NHTSA to help the cause of reporting camper tire failure to a group who can do something about it. See here for a post on how to How To File a Tire Failure Complaint
And your tire dealer or RV dealer will not file one for you, the owner needs to file the report and you need complete info off the tire.
Hope this helps

That tire had a problem with it. Looks overloaded or under inflated. Why point him to the NHTSA when it's not apparent it's a defective tire but another problem?
