More information would really be needed to determine who would be At Fault. Generally, the driver of the car that collided with another car is responsible for the accident. They were following too closely if they were in the lane the driver was switching from.
However, if the driver of the car that was hit was switching lanes aggressively (in a manner that could have been considered to be reckless) and was rear ended by someone who was in the lane they were switching to they may at least share in the responsibility.

If he was at fault, regardless of whether he was pulling a camper or not, he would be responsible. Pulling a camper doesnt make you responsible for an accident if that was the only thing you did wrong. If someone rear-ended him, its their fault, if he rear ended someone or ran a red light, then yes, its his fault.
Whose fault is it when you are switching lanes and you have room and the other driver admits to speeding up to not let you over and you hit him?
It's the fault of the other driver. If the police were not present there isn't much either of you can do. If it was a fairly serious accident and damage done to the vehicles, police were at the scene they would know whose fault it was. Usually damage down the side of the car or a rear-ender is a good sign you weren't at fault and the other driver was.
