One big advantage of a driven trailer would be the extra traction available.
A big disadvantage is that the drive train wouldn't get used nearly as much as it would in tow vehicle so payback would be much longer. However, if the system makes such that you can pull the trailer with a much smaller vehicle there could be some real advantages in that.
Isn't self propelled campers Class A/B/C's?
Only if it can operate independently. This camper just assists the vehicle towing it.
