What's the weight of a midsized truck camper? 1,500lbs? Tongue weight of a trailer with a couple of ATV's? 150-200lb's at most.
UTV has to fit with the tail gate closed if you're going to tow a TT. Will that even fit? And if it does, that's still only ~1,000lbs plus a max of say 6,000lb TT would total 1,600lb's payload.
Not seeing the need for 3,000lb payload unless you're hauling for work, as Marty said.
Typical truck campers may come in 1500 lbs dry with no options and nothing loaded, but once you get into the better quality ones, add some options and load your gear, you're easily over 2000 lbs before you add people and the tongue weight of toys or boat you have in tow. With a travel trailer, let's start with a 500 lb family in the cab, 1000 lbs of toys or junk in the bed and then add 1000 lbs of hitch weight.
