A Power Wagon is on the list of vehicles for which I have an irrational urge, but not with a camper on top.
Modern power wagons have a low payload for a 2500 - otherwise we may have got one for our truck bed camper conveyance.
By Power Wagon I mean an ancient one such as the one depicted. There's one I see in Bristol which makes me salivate.
Same. Came real close to purchasing one once, but have seen very few of that vintage pop up since.
Ah yes, the Power Wagons, while masquerading as a 2500, are most definitely not. But that's the price you pay for suspension optimized to flex.

3 axle = Class B commercial lic. if that trailer is rated over 15,001 pounds you need a Class A Commercial lic. Normal drivers lic won't cut it. Fine for driving out of class can be as high as $7000
He's a professional Florida man, he'll be fine.
If it's registered as an RV it gets an exemption from the CDL rules in many states, iirc. FL does.
GFL to whomever buys that. I love the Tacoma, but its just not a robust enough platform for that kind of build. Might do fine if you stick to pavement (even then there's no way it'll be under payload with camper, people, gear and water), but good luck not grenading your axles trying to turn 35s. But hey, I guess I'd you can afford the camper, you can probably afford to tow a matching offroad trailer piled with spare 3rd members and clamshells.yours starting at $285,000...

Always entertaining reading stories of people who buy ex-military vehicles, then find themselves flabbergasted when it breaks down, they can't get parts, find a mechanic, and end up dropping $10K on repairs after sitting idle for 3 weeks.
Exactly my thought on that taco build.
That reminds me that I was going to look this up:
My wife's cousin bought a deuce and a half. Stupid. I did get my license in the Army, though.
Yep, terrible payload on the RAM.
Wow. Epic fails of engineering. Just wow. All that gas, for this weak ass shit. Those companies should be made to pay reparations to the Earth for this just absolute waste. Ug it’s vomit inducing.
I get that. But they also chose to base it off the 3/4 ton platform, ostensibly to preserve utility. They could have done 1/2 ton like the Raptor (or now the TRX).
and on the flip side of the nominally HD equation, a Ram 2500 Cummins Mega Cab 4x4 in Limited trim will get you all of 1,640 lbs payload, and not even the excuse of the Power Wagon's suspension...
Solid front axle on the 2500, the ability to fit 35s easily, a much burlier rear axle, plus the beefier chassis. There’s not a significant difference in physical size between the 2500 and 1500, so why not start with the thing that’s closer to what you want to built right from the start?
