I would think the tires on the camper will be fine... a 2015? Did you buy it new? Even if it is used with some miles on it, I can't imagine the tires will be in that bad condition. Obviously make sure you have a spare tire - AND the tools to change a tire on your camper - jack, lug wrench, etc that fit correctly. You'll be fine!
It is because more than likely they are the cheapest tire the manufacture could get at the time, with a 65mph rating. That is why some stated to use caution concerning the speed at which was being driven to not overheat the tires. As a result, I posted an alternative option regarding tires with a higher speed rating so there is a "safety cushion".
As a side note, we unfortunately have no idea how the tires were "treated" during delivery of the trailer. Ran with proper pressure, or low pressure, at about 65mph, or higher exceeding their speed rating? Only thing that can be check is the manufacture date of the tire to see just how old it is already.
While it hadn't been mentioned before, it is important to have the right tools to change a tire.
