Jim, based on further research, I thought I'd mention in wrapping this up that RVs that could work in this kind of application have been built in the past, and still are for that matter, although it seems they are often optimized for "off-road exploring". That seems to have been their market, rather than an RV designed from the ground up as a mini toterhome. The proportions do suggest that a compact maneuverable camper with long wheelbase and short rear overhang for towing is possible.
Many of these are/were expensive but only due to pickup chassis, Diesel engines, 4X4 drivetrain, high GVWR, lots of solar, large tanks for their size, etc.
I can only post one picture at a time, so here is an older Xplorer based on Dodge pickup.
