I can't see why it wouldn't work as long as he is within his tow ratings.
Years ago (mid '90's I think) we were in a Wisconsin camping areas. One of our RV neighbours had a '90's Dodge Dakota extended cab, with the 318 Magnum V8 (230 hp or so), AT, 3.91 gears, 4 WD. He had a 26 foot fifth wheel and had been everywhere from the Mid West to Florida to Alaska in it, with his wife.
He was from the Maritimes and said he and his wife, generally traveled with their friends. One friend had a '90's Chevy dually with a 454 and a 32 foot 5th wheel trailer, the other a 90's one ton Dodge, with the Cummins diesel and a 30 foot 5th wheel.
He indicated his Dakota and trailer combo kept up with them and got better mpg.
The Dakota was set up for a 5th wheel trailer, similar to the one in the OP pix.
His truck/trailer combo appealed to me. I considered getting a rig something like it.
