There is a YouTube channel called Barefoot Expedition where a couple mounted a travel trailer on a Fuso FG140 that had a flatbed with a hoist.

This one is also set up so the trailer body can be set off the flatbed without a crane or fork lift.
The channel The Cruisin’ Crew also did a nice rig tour with them.
That's the one I was trying to remember!
And I seem to recall reading something in an article on the Truck Camper Magazine website about getting a 2006 or earlier with the Fuso's. I think it had to do with after 2006 the engines changed with a bunch of new fangled emissions stuff or some such thing. 2006 and before, the Fuso was a straight forward engine you could have work done on and parts available for pretty much anywhere in the world. Get one with or put on the 3-point mount for a flat deck and drop a mod'ed TT on it. Have the deck longer then the TT so you have exterior storage options. Might need to Dynamat the cab for sound and maybe add some air-ride seats for comfort.
If you got the money/time/skill/tools, all is possible.
