Good advice from handye9, to check on your truck's capacity before choosing a camper. Payload limitations may also preclude a truck camper, even more so than a trailer; your best bet - do your homework on what you have already.
Another alternative to consider: sell the truck you have in Hawaii, save the shipping cost and buy one on the mainland when you arrive. (For various reasons, I don't necessarily recommend buying a vehicle in California. :) )
It's not true that every 1/2-ton (150 & the like) pickup is not capable of pulling a trailer, but it is true that there is a wide variation in 1/2-ton truck towing and payload abilities. Good luck with your plan!
