The stock tires on an RV are cheap 6 ply tires and will only last 2-3 seasons.

You do realize that "Ply" went out in the 60's with the switch to higher strength Nylon, Polyester and finally to Steel in "Commercial grade" tires. If you read the tire sidewall you can learn the actual number of layers aka ply in your tires.
Load Range G or LR-G is the modern and correct term even though some tire companies use the "ply" designation as some customers don't understand we are really talking about the ability to retain the inflation pressure and it's the inflation pressure that supports the load not the tire itself. At least for 95% of the load. Else why Load & Inflation charts?
I have never seen a Ply vs load chart.
