Thinking about replacing the tires on my camper with Maxxis. But, what is the real difference between these and other ST trailer tires? Otherwise-why are they better? Looking for a real response an...

You are writing , when I understand it right that the D-load tires you have now are ST and the new Maxis are E-load LT tires.
ST tires are calculated in their maximum load for more deflection and I once compared almost same sises LT and ST and ST had 15% more maximum load then LT.
So probably the maximum load of the E-load LT are probably the same given as the D-load ST tires.
Best is to give a ST tire the same deflection as an LT would have , its saver and your tires last longer. Comfort and gripp are alright still.
/Dont have the time now but will google your tires for the maximum load, and fill it in my motorhome or trailer calculator to see what pressure advice it gives, but first you have to confirm if I am right.
Or better give me the maximum loads, pressures needed for that I already know, 65psi for D-load/8PR and 80 psi for E-load/10PR.
