Almost got a Capri when I was trying to make things work with the Tundra. The owner seemed like he would have been great to work with. More than 10k and less than 20k, I think. Maybe 14k ish 3 years ago?
A friend has a Capri that’s mounted to the bed rails; seems really nice to build out as you wish and keep it lighter. It doesn’t look like they sell those anymore though.
Definitely want to go with a hardside. I’m located in WA, and seems like I might be able to find a smaller bigfoot in the Vancouver area if I get lucky, seems to be more up there….

That will be a really tough find for all the reasons mentioned. And because here in 'Murica, bigger is moar betterer.
As someone who went through the same process you did; I ultimately settled on a Lance. insulated, heated, but has the self-contained stuff. Given that you have a proper oil burner, I would not worry about weight unless you're also towing something heavy.
There are plenty of 8' campers that don't have the overhang, which is called a beavertail. Though they are less common now as trucks are getting bigger with more hauling capability.
Mammoth lakes CA, 8', no overhang, $4500, no affiliation...

How do they know if you are running a water system???

I'd think you'd probably also like to avoid a sheet of ice around the vehicle as well.

FWIW, that is a "Texson" (Tex and son) -- the precursor to Northstar.
It looks a lot like our camper, a Northstar TC800, but ours doesn't have that little door in the picture -- the one at the rear on the passenger side. The larger door at the front is for a 20# propane tank. The ad says it has A/C -- most of the Northstar A/C units are small residential window units cut into the back wall, not roof-mounted RV units. Ours doesn't have A/C, or for that matter, any waste tanks or toilet. Also, that ad looks like the cabover bed will be an east/west layout for the mattress.
"Yah, why?
As long as you're self-contained and your camper is insulated, it should be a non-issue. It's not as if we're asking for a water hook-up."
In theory. In practice that "non-issue" becomes an issue when your plumbing fails on a winter day. If you have a heated garage to store it in when not in use go for it. Or if you think you can drain and purge the system during the winter between trips great.
The experienced winter RV folks will tell you that don't expect your plumbing to work in the winter without failure. We use giant water jugs that can freeze and thaw over and over.
Yes I have to lug those jugs in and out of the house to refill. Takes 5 minutes
