I don't think that Intech will do it for off-road, but you could convert one of those 14 or 16 foot burrito fiberglass trailers as they are typically 6 ft wide. By convert, I mean swap axles and tires.
These unicorns do exist in abundance in the do-it-yourself world. Look up "cargo camper". People build out of the much much more robust cargo trailers, and build to their simplicity specs, just what they need in a camper.
Can you build?
Minimal build price including trailer would be over $6,000 based on experience, but I will have to double check as I built with a wealth of accessories I had already that cost nothing.
Add in Timbren and the price goes up.
I have seen a few home build teardrop-style campers like u describe, but who can guess the build quality on these? Some probably great, some might be scary.
There are custom builders who will build it if you have the deep pockets.
