It is possible that the ST205/75R15 will be able to replace the 205/75R14 tires currently on your 1995 travel trailer but you will need to take a few measurements to determine this.
The ST205/75R15 like the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Vesper Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # MX47FR measures in at 7.99" wide and 27.13" tall where your ST205/75R14 tires measure in at 8.13" wide and 26.3" tall.
To make sure you have enough clearance for a tire almost 1" taller you will need to measure from the top of your current tires to the bottom of the fender. As long as you have 3-1/2-4" of clearance these larger tires will fit fine. Since this difference is less than an inch you shouldn't have any issues.
Now I recommend going with the # MX84FR mentioned above as they include a new 15" wheel with the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern since you will not be able to reuse your current wheels. If you find you have a different bolt pattern just let me know.
I included a video of the # MX84FR for you to take a look at.
