Check with Superhitch as to specifics. There is a lot less load, both tongue load and stress on the hitch when towing a vehicle with 4 wheels on the ground.
Most campers have a rear entry which will interfere with the hitch extension and vice versa. The very large campers with the dry bath and a few smaller ones like the Lance 830, will have a side entrance.
As for removing the camper at a campsite it is not simple with a less than flat surface and most private RV campgrounds will not even allow the removal. An advantage of a truck and camper is having a much shorter rig so it is easier to use to explore an area and no worries about stopping at a spot to go hiking or fishing or whatever. With a Class A motorhome or any trailer your ability to pull into many areas is very limited or impossible to do.
