It doesn't sound like installing a RV furnace or wood stove (woodstove, really? in a popup full of people? lol love the idea in theory. Not even remotely practical in the OP's scenario/type of camper...)

Please explain why you think it isn't practical? Keep in mind we are talking tiny stoves.

This company marks their cub, a 11” W x 12” H x 10.5” D wood stove that weighs 25 lbs. https://fireandsaw.com/best-camper-rv-wood-stove/

Btw, there are also backpack wood stoves for tents. Theirs are all of the way down to 6 x 6 x 9 and 18 oz. https://seekoutside.com/titanium-wood-stoves/

Absolutely talking tiny stoves. A large stove or even a small household stove would just be too big and throw out too much heat.
Practically speaking, a few of the reasons off the top of my head...
1. You ever camp with one of those tiny stoves and know how long it will burn? I guess if you're ok with getting up every 2 hours max, before the fire goes completely out, especially with whatever softwood branches you can find at 10kft in Cali.
2. Space, maintaining clear distance in a little pop top camper with a minimum of 3 people (heard the words hubby and kid, maybe there's kids plural even). Where would you put it.
3. Roof vent and pop up camper? Sure anything is "possible" but I said practical. I guess you set up the stove pipe (single wall?) every time you pop the top and then clean it out to remove and store every time you put it down?
4. 3x as much cost as a little diesel heater and more "work".

Cool? Yes.
Practical in this application? Nope.
