4 wheel camper and others made smaller, shorter campers, for blazers and smaller trucks like rangers, tacomas, etc, so you might luck up and find one.
Something like this might work. http://nashville.craigslist.org/rvs/4474873003.html

Tent > in bed camper.
The Aztek had a tent...
Buddy has a Tacoma crew cab. I like it. 4 adults fit comfortably, and 5 can squeeze.
the crew cab s10s only came in v6 and auto afiak but cheap to maintain and cheap entry cost i assume
I dont know if they are less rare in other markets and that helps the pricing, but down here in south USA they are stupidly priced and have one of the worst expensive+crappy quotients i can think of. I dont know if i've ever seen one for less than 6 grand.
Well I was asking about the bed due to the new availability of these small work vans:

Unfortunately the Frontier in a Crew cab isn't small. It's 11" shorter than a GMT800 CCSB truck with less interior room and capabilities.
Either you're going to have to give a little on the size, or you're not going to fit 4 adults.
I second Subaru Baja. Gutless torqueless truck for inner city trucker.

The Second generation (1997–2004) Dodge Dakota is the best "small" truck in its era. 4 door version made in (2000-2004). Nothing speaks to its capability more than the head of GM trucks giving up on his vow to beat the Dakota after buying 15 or so Dakotas for evaluation. What comes close is the same GM truck division thanking Chrysler/Dodge for botching the redesign for 2005. LOL For a really small "truck" maybe think Subaru Baja?
I love my 2004 1st Gen Tacoma Double Cab. One of the last "small" trucks. The seats are flat and hurt my butt. That's the only thing I don't like about it. I've always been a car guy too, but love this truck. Just watch for frame rust.
I loved my 3rd Gen 4Runner, they are pretty much indestructible. I know you mention camping, but we took mine to 24 Hours of Daytona a couple times and it was easy enough to fold down the back seats and sleep in a pinch. It could definitely tow what you need (although not a ton more), and the 3rd Gen was just right-sized (it appears that Rav4's are now approaching the size of that generation 4Runner).

Seems like a 2000-04 dakota quad would be a good start. Cheap to fix. I'm actively shopping them, and am finding 120k v8's for about $4k average.
