What about a small, single-axle, hard-side travel trailer, in the 12-16' range?
Something simlar to the Starcraft AR-ONE series? They've got bath, toilet, kitchen, bed. You can pull it with a "regular" vehicle like a midsize pickup or SUV, or a cargo van, or even a minivan.
You get the towing compactness of a pop-up with all the features of a truck camper, without the daily hassle of setting up/tearing down, and no need for a "huge" truck.
BTW, the "too many questions" deal is about courtesy. By asking too many you give the impression that you're not willing to do any of the legwork on your own, and you're taking advantage of everyone's good graces.
It's like you're baking a cake, and need a cup of sugar, so you borrow it from the neighbor. Then you need a cup of flower, so back to the neighbor. Then you need a teaspoon of vanilla, so you go back to that neighbor again. Then you need an egg, knock-knock-knock. Then you need a cup of milk... Then you need a bowl to mix it in... Then a spoon to mix with... Then a pan to bake it in... Can I use your oven? Oh by the way do you have any frosting?
Any one, or even two of those the neighbor would happily and gladly help out but once he realizes that your goal of baking a cake relies solely on their resources, they will get annoyed.
My advice, don't stop asking questions but try to pace yourself, or combine questions into one post.
