Can't figure out if you are serious or joking.
Might be a "good question" but a "pop up" and a 26+ ft trailer are two entirely different creatures when it comes to tongue weight.
Popup has what perhaps 200lbs-250 lbs on the tongue with a trailer weight of 1800 lbs - 3500 lbs, a empty 26ft TT will weigh in at a min of 5000 lbs and can have as much as 750 lbs on that tongue empty.. You are gonna have to have super human strength to pickup a 26ft trailer tongue by hand..
Not sure why you'd need to pick it up by hand, I'd just use a wheeled trailer jack. Put some plywood under if it if it's off road.
The harder part is getting a tongue on the back of the RV that he can hitch to his truck. Maybe some custom hardware to attach a toad tow bar.
But by the time he buys the wheeled jack and custom fits a tow bar, he's probably half way to the price of an electric tow dolly.
