If he is going to a camp ground, he most likely wont be running with water or waste tanks full, which is another EASY 500 lbs of savings in weight.
I will cautiously say its possible, but you must do your homework, load extremely light, and do NOT cut any corners.
Fleetwood makes a smaller 'flair' model which has been offered with tag axle. This might be your ticket.
EDIT
While it might be theoretically possible if you are determined and have a pile of cash to throw at your problem, it might not necessarily make a whole lot of sense to actually realize this, or try to, on a gas coach, let alone a small one.
