Fault in the accident is not a consideration. Normally the insurance company or the At Fault driver is responsible only for repairing your vehicle and providing you with a rental car.
While this may not be entirely fair, it is the system and you agreed to it when you chose to drive.
Some states do have a provision that a vehicle must be totaled if the damage exceeds a certain percentage of the total value of the auto. YOur best resource is your insurance agent.

What does the insurance company do when a car is not total in a wrecked?
If a vehicle is damaged in an auto accident the insurance company that insures the vehicle has the option to repair it, replace it, or pay the actual cash value of the car. The last one is in the case of a total loss and the company never tries to replace a vehicle anymore. In this case it would repair the vehicle and pay for the cost of repair less your deductible which you will be responsible to pay for yourself.

Insurance is made to pay for your financial loss due to an accident, not to see what you can get. In this case if there were no real injuries and the camper is not repairable then the insurance company will pay you the value of the camper and you will be made whole. This means you will have no real loss financially than you were in before the accident. The insurance company have the option to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle. If any other items that were not part of the camper were damaged they will be included such as televisions, computers, etc.

If your new car's door is badly damaged how do you get the insurance company to replace it with a new door instead of just repairing it?
Depends on how it was damaged. If it was another drivers fault, take it up with their insurance company, by getting estimates of a new door and submitting it to them. If it damaged the vehicle bad enough, by making it unsafe to drive or bending the frame, it would be safer to replace it anyways, rather than repairing it.

If you hit a car and that car's only damage is a tire does insurance generally pay for all 4 tires?
If you damage someone else's property your insurance company is required to indemnify that person for the damage lost. In other words, they have to put them back to the same 'place' they were before the accident happened - not better than they were before the accident. So they would typically be only required to replace the damaged tire. If it was a tire that was bald - the insurance company could take the price of a new tire, subtract the amount of difference for a new tire and a tire in the condition of the one damaged and pay the difference. Most of the time, the insurance company will just pay for a new tire and be done with it. For the insurance company to pay for 4 new tires for the claimant vehicle, it would have to be an extreme situation in which the body shop doing the repair work advises that the balance/suspension, etc. would be damaged or unnecessarily worn if only one tire was replaced. Very unlikely. By the way, if you are in an accident and the only thing damaged on your own vehicle is a tire, your insurance company most likely will not pay, even if it goes over your deductible. Most policies exclude damage to tires only.
