I have a Forest River 5th wheel. The cousin to the Rockwood. It has the Aluminum rims and they are stamped "Maximum load 2830 pounds", the same as what's stamped on my new tires, but no mention of maximum pressure they can handle. I recently did just what you are wanting to do. I got rid of the **** D rated China tires and bought E rated Goodyear Endurance tires and I'm now rated to 87 mph and max cold inflation is 80 psi. I've seen 90 psi when traveling when the tires are hot. I don't have a lot of miles on them (about 400 miles so far) and I've had no issue at all.
AFAIK, at that weight rating, you have D-rated rims and would need to upgrade them to run full E-rated pressure.
