I considered the “redneck toy hauler” arrangement myself; but really it makes so much more sense to just put the camper on the truck and pull a trailer that holds whatever you want it to.
Your total weight is less. A big gooseneck trailer is heavy by itself.
Your maneuverability is better. Goosenecks (or 5th wheels) have to make really wide turns because the hitch point is over the axle instead of behind it.
You have more versatility. You can use just the camper or just the trailer anytime you want.
Advantage of the camper on the trailer... I really can’t think of any!
