you can actually find them for surprisingly cheap.... my father in law bought his with a brand new motor installed for 8900.... and it is an auto to boot so my mother in law can drive it also. has over 1 million miles on the chassis now. Removed one rear axle and insures it as a RV for about $100 a year. And I can confirm a 6'8 man can sleep comfortably in the sleeper cab part as I did in may.
I'd never thought about one before but got me thinking for the future.
man there is some varsity level enablement going on in this thread.

I think he got a deal above the norm because cheapest i've found is 10,000k. He found it at a business in upstate NY that specializes in selling used Semi's. Bought it flew out and drove it all the was back to Los Angeles.
I will say that you aren't the most popular person in the camp site if you leave early at 5am though.
This is his, he paid to have it repainted to match the 5th wheel it used to be the penske yellow and showed its mileage
He is currently modifying it so he can fit a SWB jeep or Samurai on the back and still tow the camper.
I wonder what that green thing is. Looks like a modded humvee, front and rear overhangs removed. Looks sweet.

I've got a nice 1st gen 4r that would look better than a jeep or Sammy.

He's had yotas before and would prefer one but just not in the cards for the space he is working with.

I understand your requirements and love the idea that Johnny and I have talked about before. A goose neck with a camper like the example above.
The only real practical solution I was able to come up with for my particular needs was an enclosed trailer.
I have slept in it on long hauls while moving to NC from FL. currently using it as a storage until I finish building my shed. So I figure I can actually deduct $100 a month off my purchase price because that is what I would be paying each month to rent a storage container.
Depending on my future needs I might build up the front portion of the trailer as a small living quarters and still have room to haul my toy
