The camper needs to have proper brake lights on it. The wires will attach the the truck causing the brake likes to come on when you brake the truck. You also need to make sure your camper has a camper license plate.

Anybody with a driver license ia able to tow a standard camper or boat. You just may have some diffrent laws to abide by such as speed limits so watch all of your road signs carefully. Also most toll roads charge extra if you are in tow because they charge by the axle.

You do not say which state you are in. Rules on licensing vary by state, it would be best to check with that state before moving the camper. It could be that a one time move wouldn't require a license, but moving every weekend would.
