welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Remember swapping out the axle does not increase your load carry ability it is still governed by the Mfg GVWR. JMHO

Looks like you may have had bearing issues too?
Appears to be a stuck inner bearing race on the old spindle.

SeaDogs advice of not overloading is good.
I know you said the R/V was "new to us" but "worn out", "sagging", "uneaven load" are not things that usually happen to a axle when the R/Vs weight ratings are followed.
