David, I agree that
1. Your tires are almost certainly "Made in China"
2. Replace them immediately with American made tires.

You have several good choices based on what I've seen other forum members using. I chose BFG Commercial T/As for my High Country, but for your heavier toy hauler you can't beat the Goodyear G614s from what others have said.
I didn't have any luck getting my dealer to just swap tires out, so I ordered them and had them just install them (no charge) and traded back the Powermax Towmasters for a full tank of fuel ($110). I was satisfied with that deal and have peace of mind with the better tires!
Side note: on the Towmasters, it was virtually impossible to find the "Made in China" label but it was there!
