I’ve done it. It’s easy. Since you won’t be loading/unloading, you can just bolt some flat steel plate to your jack brackets to hold the jacks out, set it on the trailer, then unbolt them.
When I did it I made a bracket from two pieces of square-tube steel that bolted on across the front of the camper and held the front jacks way out, then removed it.
It works great. It gives you a few extra advantages like room for storage along the sides and getting the door a lot closer to the ground.
I also considered rolling it on some wooden dowels to get it on. It’s so crazy it just might work, if your camper is a “basement” model with nothing hanging below the floor at the rear, meaning the camper floor can sit directly down on the trailer floor rather than needing a platform built under it.
It’ll tow great, car trailers are always 7000-10,000 capacity, you won’t be anywhere near that.
The other option is to put a Stable-Lift camper lift on your camper. Then loading/unloading is so ridiculously easy and quick you won’t care about dropping the camper to go to town.
