Pop up camper

Anybody ever ripped the axle off a pop up camper and put it on a M105 or the like?

Thinking about a deuce, and would like to take it camping. Would like to have the truck as a truck and not something like a box on it. Would like the camper trailer to match as well.

I have seen a camper put on a deuce, but couldn't google this up...

for the smaller trailers (single axle like the 101 series and 105 series) most people tend to use the campers that slide into a normal pickup bed.
I've seen a few odd things. I remember seeing a camper of some type mounted on a HEMMT, and I've seen an airstream mounted onto an old single cab delivery truck.

I see no reason why you can't put a pop up camp trailer (minus axle/suspension) onto a military trailer, but keep in mind the pop up camper is lightweight, and the trailer is designed for very heavy weight, and anything/everything inside is going to get the snot beat out of it every pothole and speedbump you drive over at more than a crawl.
