Did the Dalton in 2012 with a 2500 truck and pop-up camper. Great trip.
Saw one guy with a travel trailer (30' ish) all the way to Deadhorse. He spent time in Coldfoot both ways (coming and going) getting replacement trailer tires and getting spring shackle welding repairs done.
I never saw Class C let alone Class A but we did see an Earth Roamer motorhome (built for four-wheeling.

It's all a matter of vehicle weight, balanced with speed and tire pressure. Many with high pressure in tires just slam their units to death on rough roads. Reducing tire pressure can help a lot in preventing jarring shock damage to parts and interiors. But again it needs to be balanced against weight to prevent tire damage.
