...... UPDATE. As a result of this thread, I just examined the tire again very closely. We have driven about 320 miles since I first noted the wear. Now the “sharp groove” pattern has rounded a bit with no other wear issues on the tire. One more telling thing that should narrow it down a bit, is that today I also examined the left front tire and found the same wear just starting on BOTH the inside and outside of that tire. Same width 1/2” or so but not nearly as deep. Running my fingers over it maybe the new is 1/16 or less
Sorry I did not check all of this today before posting. I wanted the manufacturers recommendation before Monday at the shop and was blown away by three completely different numbers. Monday should tell the story at the shop. Will advise..
Still sounds like a belt separating. That photo would be very helpful to sort this out.
Oh and those tire load charts? They are MINIMUMS!! If you are getting wear on both shoulders, it just might be that the tires are under inflated.

The camper mfg pressure would yield even weight distribution across the tread and the tire should wear out in an even fashion.
Too much pressure for the load will cause the tire to wear in the center of the tread.
I AGREE IF, REPEAT IF EACH AXLE IS LOADED TO ITS GAWR. THE PSI ON THE GVWR PLAQUE IS CORRECT PRESSURE ONLY IF THAT IS ACTUAL WEIGHT OF THE HEAVIER WHEEL POSITION ON THAT AXLE.

Like 10forty2 said you will get a lot of opinions.
Question, have you done a alignment on your coach, lately? You indicated you had your 4 corner weights right? Are you using the highest weight on a axel to set the tire pressure for that axel?
This is the latest inflation chart I could find.
