Why not the ultimate lightweight "camper", AKA a tent? Otherwise you've got a lot of conflicting requirements: headroom (and legroom for us taller folks with normal pickups (that is, standard Toyota size rather than American oversized), weight, insulation (a metal pickup bed is about the coldest possible place to sleep), aerodynamics...

Make a solid aeroshell, and your gear stays secure while you pop up the tent for sleeping.
