I'd go with Goodyear Endurance in the same size except move up to load range D. Les Schwab and Discount Tire can order them for you.
I considered those as well. My rims are stamped "max load 1820 lbs", which is the max load for my load range C tires at 50psi. I'm wondering if it would be OK to go to a D with a 65 psi rating on the wheels?
I wonder if the wheels are stamped with a maximum air pressure? It may well be that your wheels are the limiting factor and upgrading to a greater load capacity tire will be negated by the wheels.
Regarding the 1 star rating for the tires your are considering remember most RV tire failures are caused by overloading, under pressure, over speed, or over age.
The tires get great reviews...it's just the Walmart Tire/Lube Center service that seems to be all over the place. My C rated tires have about 2800 lbs of weight capacity to spare as 4 of they will carry about 7480 lbs max, and my trailer weighs about 4600 lbs fully loaded. So going D is probably overkill, and my rims may not be rated for the higher pressure anyway.
